I don't think that's what Michael and I were commenting on...

IIRC, if you had scripta calling scriptb, you used to be able to give 
scripta a proxy role and scriptb would also execute with that role. 
However, again IIRC, in current Zope releases, if you give scripta a 
proxy role, when it calls scriptb, scriptb will just run with the roles 
of the current user.

Have I got this right? If so, I wonder why the change was made...
