Yes, this is for a demo only. I skinned a small portion of the CMF with
ZPT, which worked excellently.

What will be shown is how you can use GoLive to edit templates using
WebDAV. It works too!

Yup, I see it now. ParsedXML is needed (pyexpat is pulled from ParsedXML);
this mitigates the need for the cleanup.

I'll tell them folks to install ParsedXML as well, making sure they
compile it.
