first, why didn't i get you mail via mailinglist?

It's a traversal application. so views are bound to context rather than 
urls.

Right now i have a action_config decorator that adds a view with the given 
information and store the additional information in a second Introspectable 
in the registry.

Would be much more convenient to store this information directly at the 
view. 

The pagetitle in my application is quite view specific and the navigation I 
am implementing is not only the site navigation (the site navigation is 
quite trivial) but the navigation within the object which can be quite 
complex. 

Storing this information in the registry works quite well for me. And being 
able to do that directly in the view Introspectable would cut some 
complexity. 

But my use case must not be the only one. So I think the question is not if 
the view Introspectable is the right place to store a pagetitle. The 
question is, should there be a way to store more information in the View 
Introspectable and how difficult is this to be implemented.
