The ZCML directive is invisible on the Wiki, this I copied from the HTML 
source:

<browser:macros
           for="*"
           name="standard_macros"
           macros="page"
           aliases="view:page dialog:page"    (only if we need to 
support the mapping)
           permission="zope.View"
           template="template.pt"
           layer="tiks.skins.basic.basic"
           />

I Like that. I think it would be very useful to be able to configure 
macros and access them in Python, at least for my use cases.

Regarding: <html metal:use-macro="macros:standard_macros/my_macro">

I'm not sure I want another prefix in ZPT. I would prefer to provide (or 
push?) a custom namespace to the template and then use 
"standard_macros/my_macro" or simply "macros/my_macro".
