Very nice!  I think a lot of the pain of dealing with Zope through the current
management interface goes away if the latency of the request/reply cycle is
imperceptible -- your tree view emulates the interface perfectly, and quickly
(of course caching has its own problems...).

I wonder if we could fold in the XUL markup editor, and allow client-side
creation/editing of DTML documents and methods (with some validation?), with
submission.
