Well, actually it should be the job of the DA, not Zope.  It's not
spelled out in a standard anywhere, which probably should be solved.
More documentation probably :/  But hey, someone's gotta know what the
DA is really supposed to do, other than looking at an existing one.

Don't honestly know if it WILL, but it seems reasonable that it should
be capable of trying at the very least.  Again, this is the
responsibility fo the DA, not Zope... that should be made clear.  You're
using a 3rd party DA, so you might want to talk to them about it as
well.
