Sounds a lot better. Does Zope 3's current 'container' have anything
to do with 'container' in Zope 2? Note that I also strongly recommend
using the same names for Python Scripts. :)

You could also name 'context' to 'content', but I understand 'context'
is in current use in Zope 3.

If you did the latter, it'd be almost the same as the thing I've hacked
together in Zope 2 to do something like this. :)

Yes, view is nicer.

Right, which is why we're not calling it 'content'. I imagine also because
sometimes you're not talking to a content component directly but to something
else layered above the content.
