Title: [commits] (john) [8190] Bug 3229: Hello world CPIA parcel example to go with documenation.

I'd like to suggest that this change be backed out, and that John (or someone else) find a way to show how to add a new content item type and a detail view for it without creating a new structural mechanism to do so.

+1 on both of bryan's issues:
1) Documentation: We should not introduce, let alone write sample code that leads a user down a path that is different from where they will end up. By introducing a new detail view mechanism, the reader will be confused down the line when they try to understand how the first pattern they learned fits together with a newer, incompatible pattern.

Personally I also object to the specific mechanism that john is using here, and would have voiced my objection had I known what was being proposed.

2) When someone objects to a change, especially when they have specifically voiced the objection ahead of time, the change should not be checked in until a resolution has been met through some form of discussion with additional people. This is just how a review process works...
