I would like to keep the code as strict as possible for now. When the final 
implementation is ready we must test it with Plone and CPS and see what 
problems will occur and how we can deal with them in a sane way (hopefully 
saner than the current implementation). Otherwise we could also stick with 
the current implementation :-) So there is currently no need to hurry..I 
hope to finish the work in January...enough time left for testing.
