That's the incorrect assumption, quite often I want to diplay protected 
information from several objects. Admittedly this could all be done in 
one script, but it seems a wasts of several calls, simply because ZPTs 
don't have Proxy Roles.

Also not what I was on about. The PageTemplates don't _do_ anything, 
they just need access to protected information.

I don't think that's true...
