Does it belong in the BerkeleyConfig class docstring? I'll admit it's 
probably convenient there, but it would make auto-documentation of the 
schema more difficult. OTOH we could ditch auto-documentation, but then 
we'd be maintaining another documentation text manually which 
duplicates the explanations *again*. Is this an issue with other 
ZConfig-using components? At first glance, others don't seem to use the 
same BerkeleyConfig-style pattern.

Also, sorry for being dumb, but where's the third place?

This probably isn't a discussion to be had on this list though... 
probably belongs on zope-coders?
