I guess I'll have to answer it myself.<g>
I realized I could make javascript generate a random number as part of
the request.
This doesn't solve the need for uniqueness but with a large enough range
and anticipating a low volume of requests I should be able to devise a
workaround.
If anyone can tell me how the unique randon keys could/should be
generated within Zope, that would be preferable, and I'd learn
something.
