public sealed class WebPartZone : WebPartZone,

The WebPartZone inherits the System.Web.UI.Control.ID property, which is a string value that is used to specify the programmatic identifier assigned to a WebPartZone control. The value of a WebPartZone control's ID property is used to assign the WebPart.ZoneID property of an instance of a WebPart class.

Another MS Sealed class.
Maybe Microsoft should look at un-sealing some of their MOSS classes, building them to be extensible. It would be good to be able to override the Chrome on a SharePoint WebPartZone for instance; you can do this in ASP.net, why can't you do this in MOSS? Many classes could benefit by just being un-sealed. There are hundreds of internal and sealed classes in MOSS.
