Yup, a ZikiSpace Object is a Zclass subclassing from DTML Doc which has
one subobject - a ZikiBit which corresponds to a WikiBit.  This implies
that to access a wiki node (ZikiBit) you goto:

	http://ZikiServer/<ZikiSpace>/<ZikiBit>

If you add a ZikiSpace to toplevel then everyone can link to the ZikiSpace
by going to http://ZikiServer/mystuff/<ZikiSpace>/<ZikiBit>.

I think we need a ZikiEdit method and disallow manage_ZikiBit because you
don't want users editting permissions & other bits.  You just want to
allow a page of text only.

Ta-ta!

I want to add a ZikiSpace to the ZPT for everyone to contrib
Documentation.
