Yeah, I think you're right about this. Good idea.

I'll work on updating the documentation some further to describe the 
newer features. I can do that along preparing for the tutorial I'm going 
to give about Five, at the same sprint (and again at the conference itself).

We need to make another short TODO list. One TODO I still have is 
disable default traversable-ness for any Zope 2 object. This should be 
done explicitly. The reason for this is that Five should not interfere 
with Zope 2 operations unless someone explicitly asks for it. It's very 
well possible that Plone or Silva will never need to make Folder or 
SimpleItem traversable, as they can make traversable their custom base 
classes instead.

What we need to verify is that it is indeed safe to declare things 
traversable (and defaultViewable and sendEvents) multiple times, so that 
different Five-using products don't interfere with each other.

Regards,

Martijn
