I thought adapters were for this exact kind of thing?
Existing Zoep 2 code would use a Zope 2 request, the Zope 3 components 
should be presented with a Zope 2 request that has been adapted to 
present IBrowserRequest rather than just being marked as implementing 
it, no?

What do you mean by "off" here? The config option should make the stfuf 
that ships (like the widgets!) work by default...
