Nope, it's a shortcoming on the authors' part. At least that's my current
opinion, because everytime I've come across a technology I had trouble
understanding, it turned out to be a worthless technology or a good one
where the authors had trouble explaining their stuff. For the time
being, I've placed zPatterns in the latter category ;), and I
dearly wish they'd taken more conventional terms.

As my ebusiness site has trouble with exactly that point, would you care to
elaborate on how you accomplished that? It'd be nice to peek at someone
else's solution before running off and reinventing wheels :-)
