<bow>  Early adopters of SiteAccess may raise an eyebrow at this, though;  Before
v0.1.2 there were essentially no docs and everyone had to contact me to do
anything :-)

You've told SiteAccess to host your entire site out of that folder, and that's
what it will do.  You need some way to spell 'this is a raw access URI'.

This is one way, making any management method a raw URI (although it really
should have "REQUEST.path and (... or ...)" to handle empty paths correctly, I
think).  Another would be to define an alternate subdomain name for raw access,
and test for that, or add a prefix such as 'Zope'.

Both of these methods are mentioned at the bottom of
