[Zope-Coders] more babbling, this time about site roots

[Jens Vagelpohl]

+1 if casey's suggestion to just set "visibility=0" does indeed 
overcome that copy/paste problem.

however, who in their right mind would copy and paste a site root, 
anyway? it would most likely make the site immediately inaccessible 
at the place where you paste it... ;)
