To me, this is where your argument breaks down. A view is only part of
the picture.
A view *and a layout* *and perhaps some elements* is the _view_
To say a view cannot set data is shortsighted. Perhaps a better way to
think of this is to think of "passing" data instead of setting data.
A view passes data into its helpers which in turn generate html on
behalf of the view.
A view passes data into its elements for the same reason.
Why should a view not be able to pass data to its layout, which in
turn generates html on behalf of the view. - it strikes me as odd that
people would want to seperate this case.
I wholely agree that views should not be allowed to set any data other
than in these circumstances.
