Eh?
Rochester is using ZPT???  We are in the middle of a rewrite (the first
release was *just a prototype*). We had/have no plans to support the
prototyped code. Please do not develop sites against the current ZPT. The
way it operates is subject to change (and has changed).

The reliance on a DOM is gone. Right now, pyexpat is used to parse the input
as XML. We may drop that too....
