Believe me, the Zope sources are being hacked up more for DOM/XSLT than
for Perl! :^)

Seriously, there aren't any changes to Zope being proposed for Perl
Methods.  Actually, the only changes are positive ones -- a
"Methodgeddon", meaning a Method Armageddon.

The work on XSLT Methods and Perl Methods has exposed a need for a
coherent model between all the methods, particularly how things are
bound.  Thus, the white hot spotlight of bringing in more kinds of
methods have made us look at the cruft and inconsistencies.
