this policy must be enforced? :-)

It's possibly a major Zope 2 issue. However since we are putting more and 
more Zope 3 stuff into Zope 2 is becomes also (in some way) a Zope 3 issue.
I just wonder if it would be better to move more logic into the related 
Zope 2 wrapper code (making it more fat) or putting  it into the Zope 3 
core...
I have to brainstorm about it.
