Thanks, that's good to know.  I guess I was mostly wondering if there  
were any other useful implementations of IContainer that I should be  
aware of.

After I asked this question it occurred to me that the zope API may  
hold the answer if I looked at the IContainer interface page.  Sure  
enough there was a nice list of all the classes that implement the  
interface.  Nothing on that list jumped out at me as particularly  
useful but I may not know what I'm looking for.  In any case I now  
have several implementations of IConainer to look at if I get a  
hankeren to.
