Can you give me an example of how this would work or where I can look to 
see real code? It sounds like a reasonable use case, but I can't quite 
get my head around it...

Please find attached a minimal example. I'm using Zope 2.9.4 and all the 
files were in lib/python of the instance. The zcml file was included 
with the following in site.zcml:

   <include files="../lib/python/view.zcml" />

Any help greatfully received!

cheers,

Chris

PS: Putting this together, I noticed another thing... am I right in 
thinking that:

<five:traversable class="OFS.Application.Application" />

...doesn't work? As you'll see in the minimal example, I had to bind to 
OFS.Folder.Folder instead and then create a dummy folder so I could test 
the view in a browser.
