 Thanks for that, Paul, 'preciate the clarification.

Ah, understood. That'll be valuable information and I'm looking forward to it. It's absolutely pertinent to the site I'm now developing.

Oh?! That sounds very promising. Is there a delivery window yetfor eZ 4? I'll be starting a project about mid-summer that will require
 some of the things I've mentioned in this thread. If possible I'd like to
 plop an establised CMS mechanism "on top" to handle design and such,
 rather than build everything from scratch. eZ of course would be first
 choice if it had the capability. But I'm worried about limiting the growth of
 the product, just becuase I was after a quick and dirty first launch.
