[Zope] Confera "talkback" buttons - is this correct?

[Alexander Staubo]

Of course. Call it a momentarily lapse of reason -- I wasn't thinking
clearly. Honestly! :-)

I remember being somewhat annoyed by this at one point as I could not
find a way to cleanly handle class construction -- I ended up putting a
check in the class' index_html and creating my instances there, which is
an ugly but functional hack. I still think ZClasses should be permitted
to expose constructor-like methods. The form-handling code you described
works but is hardly a "neat" solution.
