Is it in scope to add items to the list that are purely in presentation 
space?  I doubt that it is, though the section "Refactor presentation 
components" hints that it might.

The potential items to add to your "Presentation: Views and Resources' 
list are layers, macros, and slots.  These form an informal, implicit 
part of the composite UI system.

I just finished my last article in the ZopeMag series on Zope 3 skins. 
Explaining this part was a bit hard.  Layers aren't declared, they just 
spring into life when they are used on something.  The same is somewhat 
true for the informal system of macros and slots.  However, 
layers/macros/slots are the heart of the UI system, or at least the 
first heart. :^)

It's reasonable to say that this is out of scope for this proposal, as 
layers/macros/slots don't really touch components.
