I have a few naive comments/questions.  Could you quickly explain in 2
lines or less what the difference between <browser:page> and
<browser:view> is?

To be frank, I've only ever used <browser:page> and its done what I
wanted quite nicely from having class-less templates, and template-less
classes, and classes+templates.  The magic that you seem to describe is
an implementation detail that I could care less about as a user of the
functionality (perhaps if I were more involved with the coder underneath
I would care more).

So... having said all that, I have to say I don't see much benefit in
what your RFC suggests but rather just a little added complication.
