If your app is designed nicely, I should be able to look at your 
interfaces, and from them, make my own browser views of your components, 
and use my site.zml file (for example) to override your product's 
defaults so that my own view is used.

Such a change should *not* break the application. If it does, I suggest 
there is too much coupling between your content component and your views.
