Correct.

|

|       template="browser/my_listing.pt"
|       permission="zope2.View"
|       name="listing"
|       skins_lookup="True" />
| 
| This would cause the view.index attribute to become a computed attribute

|

Looks very reasonable to me. Instead of using <browser:page> though it
would be something custom, probably living in the CMF and named
similarly, like <cmf:page>.
