this might not be very useful in an ISP environment, where you do
application serving with zope. In this case you want to grant all your
customers (== users) the right to import/export in their areas so that
they don't have to bother you.

Digicool: do you plan to offer an upload functionality for .zexp import
just like we have a download for the export now ? this would be _very_
handy, because I do not want all my customers to be able to access the
import dir on my harddrive. (maybe it exists already and I just don't
know?)
