This is indeed quite true.  Some of the interesting parts of Zope are
still without documentation and this is doubly so for most products.
However this is a substantial development(marketing&mindshare
perspectives) and from my understanding of what this would do it should
generally be transparent at the application level. I'm curious about
what kind of documentation would be nesc. before this might be released.
I'm just not sure how its any different from the Interbase Storage in
terms of the documentation need, esp. if its unsupported. The Storage
Level of the ZODB is supposed to be extremely low-level, and i think
most Zope users could care less as long it works.

my two cents

btw. the notes from the paris meeting were quite refreshing. lots of
good stuff on the fronts. congratulations and thanks to the members of
both DC and the zope community. 

ps. I've got to ask, Is there any prelim work being done on SOAP?
