[z3-five] Zope 2 page templates versus Zope 3 page templates

Hi there,

Here's my line of thoughts about Zope 2 versus Zope 2 page templates for 
  Five:

* Five is about integrating Zope 3 technologies with Zope 2.

* Especially Zope 3 technologies Zope 2 is lacking.

* Having Zope 2 page templates, almost identical to Zope 3 page 
templates, being used by Five, will make life a lot easier when 
integrating Five into Zope 2-based software.

* Having configuration knobs, global or per-page, are confusing. This 
means a global setting and a special five:page directive are both 
confusing. Resolving a debate implementing both sounds tempting, but it 
leads to bad user interface design, and Five is an interface to developers.

* So, let's go with Zope 2 page templates and make everything work.

How does that sound?

Regards,

Martijn
