[Zope] How to make two racks work under one specialist?

[Steve Spicklemire]

Hi Dirksen,

For your 'otherwise' case, could you have a single instance
that serves as an 'unknown' object:

WITH Deliverables.getItem(self.id) COMPUTE 
originalObject=RESULT or NOT_FOUND 
OTHERWISE originalObject=Deliverables.getItem('Unknown')

where it is known that the Deliverables Specialist has an 
instance with id='Unknown'. The problem with OTHERWISE is 
that it only works within the context of a single WITH/COMPUTE,
and if you don't get 'originalObject' then your WITH/COMPUTE
will never fire.
