Remember that Zope has an 'Undo' button... ;-)
(and in fact, a whole history tab in the CVS version, I think...)

I'm pretty sure they are deleted, but not calling manage_beforeDelete
seems stupid to me. I presume this is the reason that CatalogAware
objects that get deleted like this don't remove themselves from the
catalog (leaving a nasty mess behind them...)
