This looks right.

Acquisition is built into Zope objects; the only time you should ever have
to "take [it] into account" is if you are trying to acquire an object with a
non-identifier Id, or whose Id is stored in a variable.  In these cases
"anobj.aq_acquire('foo.html')" and "anobj.aq_acquire(fooname)" should do.
