I disagree: if there is ZCML inside the package it must be tested  
inside the package.
If there is a syntax errors in the zcml, tests do not find it. It is  
even possible to make a release without noticing this defect. I think  
that's really bad.
Otherwise we should we require to run the compat-tests before  
releasing a package of the zope framework. This might find the errors  
in zcml, maybe.


Yours sincerely,
