Maybe, the problem I got in CMF after customizing the
"discussion_reply_form" in a version are related to that (I posted a
message to the CMF list yesterday, no answers yet though).

I got a "NotFound" error, when replying to a document. Usually one gets
the failing URL in the trace as well, which was not the case here (it
was empty).
Nevertheless the reply **was generated and added to the catalog and was
searchable and viewable**. However, it was not generated as
"document/talkback/8849776" as usual, but as (Portal is the root of the
CMF site) "/Portal//talkback/8849776", with the two slashes after
"Portal". And so didn't show up neither at the bottom of the document.

So, is the moral: NO working within versions when changing (customizing)
CMF sites (or other catalogaware objects ?
