...which to me says:

"take adapter, apply to it object with name as a parameter"

...what I'd like it to say would give meaning to:

my_content_object/zapi:title

...meaning apply the title adapter from the zapi package to my_content_object, 
which was where I left things last time I came close to understanding Zoppe 3.

What's the equivalent to that in today's Zope 3 land?

sense :-S
