I saw it mentioned on one of the lists last week (or sometime around then)
that index_html is treated differently by Zope. It seems that Zope does
not look for an index_html when navigating to an object called index_html.

Perhaps this could be fixed by rewriting the STX_Document object such that
it does not rely on index_html for its representation, but uses __str__
instead. Of course, this would require some Python underneath the existing
ZClass stuff.

I have big plans for structured text, as we plan on using it extensively
in our work. Fixing this issue would definitely be a (small) part of that
work. However, I don't know where this fits into my timeline. When the
time is closer, I'll make sure to share my work with the community so that
everyone benefits.
