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.
