I hadn't tried it, or really given much thought to it.  The tricky bit
here, of course, is that you don't really want an Access Rule in your
ZClass but in *instances* of your ZClass, right?

Probably the best way to handle this is to set the Access Rule as part
of your ZClass initialization method.  You would call
self.manage_addProduct.SiteAccess.manage_addAccessRule(method_id='yourmethod').

Sure, path mangling is what Access Rules do best!  Once you have this
working, please consider writing a Howto.
