but that's the key rewrite! The problem is that Zope is 'adding'
stuff to the front of the URL with it's BASE tag. This rewrite
just strips that off so that you don't get that mess.

Yes... that's the mess you get. If you put in a rewrite like:

RewriteRule ^/nle/dnle(.*) /$1

then you won't get all that. You will *see* /nle/dnle/blah/blah in your
URLs (if you have them displayed) but the web server will strip
them before forwarding your request to Zope.
