There is no implicit acquisition in Zope 3. If there ever is, it will 
only be there as part of a Zope 2 compatibility library.

Generally if you want something to be "acquired" by content that lies 
below it, you make that something a a View, a Resource, or a Utility, or 
a Service, or some other such thing.

There is also an "acquire" namespace for paths and URLs. I haven't had 
cause to use that though.

You make a choice as to what you want as Content and what you want as 
behind-the-scenes plumbing.
