It's quit common that normal users of Zope applications are allowed to 
add content. You can educate programmers, but you can't solve a problem 
like this by educating (sometimes untrusted) users. They can easily 
screw up a Zope app by overriding important views. And if they can do it 
some (untrusted) users will do it.
