I agree with you. I would have expected the example to be self contained
in the samples directory, and it to use the recommended methods
currently available and use in Chandler without introducing new things.
An example that is coded differently from the real Chandler seems less
valuable than an example that shows and explains how we really do things.

If John discovered a better, new way to do things, we should discuss
whether or not we should take that change separately and convert ALL of
our current ways into that. I think this late in 0.6 we shouldn't.
  
My proposal is not a replacement for our current mechanism. Instead it's only for the special case where you only want a single view for your item, not a view made up of combined types like we do when whe combine kinds with stamping. It has the advantage of making the hello world sample much smaller and simpler than it otherwise would be -- and doesn't preclude extension to the normal detail view case.
