True enough, except in the sense that code-bearing Zope objects are
often created and edited over HTTP from a web browser or WebDAV client.
Since it's substantially easier to hack an HTTP session than to get
write access to the server's files, Zope makes a sharp distinction
between filesystem ("trusted") and through-the-web ("untrusted") code.
If Duncan's system actually requires sandboxed code to run in some kind
of non-web client, then Zope is probably not the answer.
