[Zope] Wrapping pre-existing content

[Phil Harris]

Mario,

If only things were that simple.

The hierarchy is deep, wide and heavily populated at each node.  The number
of folders is out of my control, as is the number of 'documents' in each
folder, as is the type of documents.

I need a selective way of wrapping as well as all-encompassing way, e.g. I
don't want to wrap Image or other binary types.

Thanks for the suggestion but in this case it's a no-go.
