We have written browser helper tools in a package named
cornerstone.browser. especially IRequestMixin here 

http://dev.plone.org/collective/browser/cornerstone.browser/trunk/cornerstone/browser/interfaces.py

might be a candidate for this or such a component.

We use it most of the time as mixin for browser views, content
providers, menu items and everything else which has to deal with
application state data, urls and queries.

For IRequestMixin the implementation is almost finished (one function
and some testing left - see base.py and base.txt if you're interested
in), and for the pointed usecases there are convenience implementations.

It would be great to see this or something like this in zope.browser
package, dealing with request data and url's is almost every day's
business and always more code than i could be.
