[Zope] Replacing Root Acl_Users

[Jens Vagelpohl]

with the superuser account there is nothing like being "locked out", even 
with a "broken" user folder, however you define "broken" for a user folder.

your scheme seems to suggest a site structure in which normal users will 
never browse anything at the root of your site. that's a general site 
structure question that seems to go a little beyond what chris asked in 
the first place... :)
