Really? What prevents you to map ZCML elements to ZConfig sections and their attributes to ZConfig keys? Only for "#PCDATA", there is not equivalent in "ZConfig". But, almost surely, ZCML does not use "#PCDATA"... I have the feeling that mapping ZCML syntax onto ZConfig syntax is easier than the other way round (as ZConfig supports multikeys but XML allows only a single attribute of a given name). -- Dieter _______________________________________________ Zope3-dev mailing list Zope3-dev@zope.org Unsub: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/options/zope3-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
