[Zope] Simplifying complex contexts/urls

[David Kankiewicz]

from ZServer on Linux with Netscape or KDE browser I got up to 131,111
with no prob. The next click 2x131,111 crashes both..
(KDE doesn't like rendering the lonnnnggggggg link, had to refresh the
display each time)

Yahoo use to give thousands of stock quotes back from their quote page,
the URL had each 
stock symbol,another, now they limit it to 200.
I ran into IE's url length limit trying that once, so someone should
check IE out and report back.

David,
tone..
