This Product is very cool. Thanks!

Now...er...one further problem, which is a typical Zope newbie question, 
I'm sure. When I use "<dtml-var bobobase_modification_time>", it's 
rendered with the top-level container's modification time, which isn't 
the same as the lower-level object. So I'm caught by container 
inheritance. How do I override this, something like "self modification 
time"?
