I too have searched in vain for such a thing. I have now written one, 
but my attempts to post it to the list have bounced - if this message 
gets through, I'll send it later.

I don't know how much Mitch and I have in common in terms of background, 
but my experience was the same - there was nothing there which would 
give me any traction.

Being a PITA in this list and Zope-Db shook a few helpful souls out of 
the woodwork though, and I now have a way of tackling this which works.

Although I haven't yet cracked the form validation/error handling side...
