Which one?  The one that lets you embed any file on the filesystem into
a web page?

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/howto/security.html

I didn't know Zope's bundled version of docutils fixed that.  In any
case, the src/docutils in the Zope 3.2 tree either doesn't have the fix,
or it doesn't work.  I tested it and ended up closing that hole in an
application myself.
