[Zope] stripping .html ending in an id

[Dylan Reinhardt]

There are certainly any number of computational ways to do this.

It may be more helpful to consider that this kind of need is why you
have both a title and an id property available.  I'd think about using
title instead... it'll be a far better long-term plan than chasing down
corner cases for how id's are converted into title-like strings.

HTH,

Dylan
