Yes.  I tested the history tab in the ZMI and atct_history (the plone ATCT
hisotry tab) and both work great.

Be sure to get my little patch for atct_history, which I appended to the
ticket this morning:

http://dev.plone.org/archetypes/ticket/648

I have not written any automated tests for the patches (truth be told, I'm
a Perl guy, and I haven't written much production code under Python -- I
still need to learn how to write tests).  I'd be happy to add some tests
as soon as I get a chance.

So, you think a monkey patch might be the way to go?
