I'm not a routes user, so my answer might be somehow wrong, it is mostly based on the knowledge that I have of the TurboGears routing system.
The routes integration was not used by TurboGears itself, was there due to Pylons and was hijacked to always route to the RootController which was then in charge of the real routing. This is the reason why you can only route to Pylons controller using routes and not to TurboGears one, losing so the TurboGears features like validation, expose and so on. If you add routes that route to a TurboGears controller the controller itself will try to route them again, obviously doing the wrong thing Somehow you might be able to use routes with validation and expose by creating a Pylons controller that inherits from tg.controllers.decoratedcontroller.DecoratedController but keep in mind that this might break any time in the future. The TurboGears way to manage regular expression based routing is to handle them inside the _lookup method and return the actual controller instance that has to handle them with the remaining part of the url for which the dispatch has to continue from the returned controller.
