Yes.  I recently needed to add a CSS class to an action button (in Zope
3.2 -- there's no time to port to 3.3/3.4 because Customers Demand
Features).  In the end I subclassed zope.formlib.form.Action and made
render a regular method that did what I wanted it to do.

Reading zope/formlib/namedtemplate.txt might help.  You either have to
use ZCML overrides, or subclass zope.formlib.form.Action (or
attach marker interfaces to its instances, although that might not work
given its copy-on-__get__ descriptorish behaviour).

I must be missing something, because for the life of me I cannot see any
point to zope.formlib.namedtemplate.  What does it give you that
subclassing and changing the render method/attribute doesn't?
