Although there is an #include tag in SSI that does this exact thing,
Zope does not use SSI, just the same *syntax*.  It would be fairly
useful to include something like this in Zope.  It was not done in the
past because Zope was single threaded, and a call like this could
quickly block Zope if the URL the tag pointed to was slow or not
responding.

Now that Zope is multithreaded, I think it's a good idea.  Anyone?
