Perhaps I should have asked: Where *should* that code live?

I see the docutils/writers/html4zope.py module.  Any other additions
or changes?

Would these files be maintained there?  Or is that just a snapshot of
the Docutils package, to be updated from time to time?  I hope the
latter.

Docutils is still very much in the experimentation/exploration stage of
development.  As I've discovered flaws in the design of Docutils, I've make
some sweeping changes to its internals.  Although never without good reason,
APIs *are* subject to change, sometimes breaking client code.

If the Zope integration code were part of Docutils itself, there's a
much better chance (>0 vs. 0) that API changes will be applied to that
code as well.  Code in the main package must continue to work; any
bugs are fixed ASAP.  I try to update code in the sandbox where I can.
Code in another CVS repository won't be seen by me.

So I think that html4zope.py ought to live in Docutils.  However, if we
implement the changes it needs in html4css1.py (HTML header tags starting
at <h3>), it could be that there is no need for it.
