Well, yes. Best practice would be document/browser, etc. but I think it's  
pragmatic to do something similar with the browser views that we already  
have with default skin: zpt-content, zpt-generic. I assume any suggestion  
is likely to be greeted by a collective shrug from everyone else,

Indeed.

I'm guilty of quite a few assumptions which is why I created the interface  
and dropped in here for discussion.

I'm not sure on any of this. CookieCrumbler isn't clear on many things.

Thanks for the clarification.

I don't know - it only seems to have relevance in the final statement of  
__call__

But that itself would imply the logout view becoming the default action.  
We can keep it around for access from untrusted code.

I'll update the interface to reflect this discussion.
