Can you elaborate on this a bit?

I'd like to turn this around a little bit.  Only browser-based code  
should depend on zope.publisher.  This seems like a very reasonable  
dependency.  It's like wxwindows UI code depending on wxwindows.   
Maybe the browser code should be factored out of the packages that  
depend on zoep.publisher so that only *that* code has the dependency  
and non-browser code doesn't.
