Yes, trackback handler is it's own CGI script, but I was talking about
other plugins that can get the renderer from the args it receives as the
renderer is in the request object.

I can see the headlines *Pyblosxom replaces Zope* and *Pyblosxom, your
all in one CMS that can plug into your CRM and ERP software.*

Just what is everything?
 * Data representation?
 * Data management?

When I see that people used pyblosxom as some kind of database for
documents and other wierd stuff (that bonzai -> pyblosxom integration
counts as the wierdest), I'm not sure what pyblosxom is anymore :)
