Yikes!  I *didn't* mean Zope, as it doesn't qualify for the
term 'enterprise application framework' as I used it above,

No idea how I missed that key word.  Perhaps the MVC part
grabbed my eyes and filtered the rest of my reading (which
was admittedly brief).  Perhaps I was just on drugs.  Was
that a Saturday?  Yes, it was definitely the drugs.  Today
I'm on *different* drugs, the pretty blue ones, and I'm
feeling much furrier, thank you.  Down, Shadowfax, down!
