+1 too. For Zope 2 and for Zope 3.

In some cases it's really hard to get to the request otherwise. Take a 
look at zc.resourcelibrary for a Zope 3 library that could use 
zope.globalrequest. Right now it doesn't use an abstraction but just 
cheats by knowing the implementation. Or hurry.zoperesource, which uses 
the same pattern.
