No, the rest of the objects in the URL will be acquired.

No, acquisition takes care of this. You Session object would acquire the 
stuff object, which will be traversed just the same as if it were the first 
part of the URL. So after processing /Session/0x1234 Zope server will then 
process /stuff/info/abc.

You will always have to handle any REQUEST information explicitly this way. 
In DTML you could do this by always calling a method that does this, just 
like you'd use standard_html_header.
