You missed the start of this thread. We were not talking about a clean 
solution that requires properly registered and acquisition wrapped tools.

We were talking about a hack for using tools in vocabularies without 
acquisition context. Right now, in Zope 2.9, without the not yet 
existing five.localsitemanager.

In Zope 2.10 I can use zope.app.component.hooks.getSite() to get the 
acquisition wrapped site. Don't know what needs to be set up in Zope 2.9 
to have this available.
