Interesting. Are there search engines which only list pages that are
".html?" I'd think that w/so many other things out there (.pl, .htm, .cfm,
etc.), that it would easier for the search engines to just remove obvious
image types (ie .gif, .jpg, etc.) I would think that search engines would
keep anything that returned 'Content-type: text/html', and that was an
obvious query (ie www.foo.tld/search?name=pup)

In any event, you can easily *name* your zope objects as 'foo.html', but
it gets a little tricky when you want to start mixing python expressions
in. (the dot appears to suggest a method 'html' w/in object foo).
