Granted.  My objection doesn't really apply if the naming of all the
standard Zope object classes is up for grabs.  If that's where things are
headed then it would probably be a good idea to have a set of guidelines
for the naming of parts of Zope.  Zope should underline its OO nature with
consistent naming of related things.

But there is a difference for the internal methods (restrictions on
security and builtins), as well as similarities with other Zope methods
(the way you call it from DTML or via URL).  I was thinking of the analogy
with ZSQL.

BTW, can you use DTML tags in Python Script the same way you use them in
ZSQL methods?
