Note that the most recent CVS checkout of ExternalEditor protects the
special 'externalEdit_' object with 'Use external editor' permission. 
Since this object is installed in the Zope root, the ZPublisher won't
check roles for it at the folder / content object's location, but only
in the root.

I updated the news item to reflect this issue.
