*blush* Thanks. It's really not that difficult. ZOPE is just about 10
times bigger than our biggest Python project linewise, and it contains a
astounishing number of clever ideas ;) So it takes some days to get a feel
for the code base :)

Yes and no. All URL generating that doesn't rely on Acquisition should
work ok. I think, I'll try to also prune PARENTS, now that I
understand more clearly how ZOPE works inside, this would allow tree tags
as used on www.mtg.co.at <dtml-tree expr="PARENTS[-1]" ...> to work
correctly for subsites.

Additionally, there is already an API call, "absolute_url" :)

In fact, what worries me more is, if DC will consider integrating this
patch officially into ZOPE2. So please tell me what doesn't work, and I
also appreciate comments upon the coding style.
