[Zope] Viewing a version of a website?

IIRC, zope uses "resident" cookies for versions (i.e.
not tied to the session).
That way both of the above problems should be non existent,
because you always stay in the version when looking
at that site, be it in the mgm. interface or
on the website itself (you just can't use different
domain names, because cookies are tied to them)

You have to explicitly *leave* a version instead
of explicitly entering it.

I guess you should just try and see if it works
the way I described.
