Hey Casey.

If I remember my sprint lessons correctly (while we were building part of
the component api browser, which needed an adapter to provide a view), I
believe the problem with this is that a view has to be registered to the
actual container even if it is going to be using an adapter (see the zcml in
Zope.App.OFS.Introspector to see what I mean).  This means muddying in the
Container view namespace, as I said in another email.

Another aspect of the problem is that you can't get an Adapter by name.

If I'm off base somewhere, somebody correct me.
