I'm hoping Jim will soon take charge of zope.publisher, zope.traversing, 
zope.container, and zope.app.publisher, because he seems to be the only 
one who knows how they are supposed to be related.  For example, which 
packages should be aware of XML-RPC?  I would guess that none of them 
should have any notion of XML-RPC, and that there should be a 
"zope.xmlrpc" package, but my confidence in that guess is very low.
