Well, the biggest is making an adapter for the Zope 3 request so that
it implements the same interface as the Zope 2 request. Other than
that, it was pretty much working.

Oh, and now I recall, we don't have 'streaming', 'chunked', and
'gzipping' yet, though the latter two would be easily implemented as
wsgi middleware (could even use the implementation from
django/turbogears). That's the second biggest :)

It's not that bad :)
