Well. Actually I propose to hide those saner view names for now. 
Changing the visible names using Method Aliases is possible since CMF 
1.5. That has nothing to do with switching to browser views and should 
be part of a different proposal.

All I want for now are browser view names that have a good chance to 
become the official visible names some time in the future.

The 'view' view is not always the default view. Image and File have 
download as default. I guess index.html should always be an alias for 
the default view.

I proposed to use Method Aliases, so the default view would still be set 
in the types tool (or profile XML), not in ZCML.
