Yes, you're right.
One thing to note is that there is another security measure. In old 
zopes (<= 2.1.6 IIRC) it was for instance possible to go to
http://zopeserver/objectIds
to get that list, which doesn't work nowadays, although anonymous
has "Access contents information" rights.
I wonder why propertyItems doesn't do the same.
