[Grok-dev] Is there a before publish event?

Are you aware of the fact you can subscribe to an IBeforeTraverseEvent 
for a specific type of objects, right?

I mean, we do apply a skin onto the request using a subscriber like so:

  @grok.subscribe(IMyTypeOfAppObject, IBeforeTraverseEvent)
  def apply_applicationskin(app, event):
    skin = skin_selection_computation()
    applySkin(event.request, skin)

This subscriber is now only called for the traverse step over the app 
object in the path. Is that what you were aiming for?
