The namespace ++view++ is in the first line a namespace which makes it possible to use the same naming for ojects and views on a container. Second this is callable via the @@ in page templates. The implementation that we didn't use a tales expression is bad. It doesn't make sense to me that we can automaticly use traversal namespace in tales. I think the API for implement additional functionality is the ITALESExpression interface. Every other implementation which makes something possible in TAL is bad. That's just what I think. > > The implementation of a *provider* > > tales expression for viewlet manager totaly avoids this :-) > > As I said in another post, I think tales expressions are abused there. > For looking up views, would you not use ++view++ but rather a view: > TALES expression?

Yes, I know, but where doe we describe the interface for that? Is there a interface somewhere that I can see why I can call traversal namespace from TAL? Perhaps I missed this till now. How do you explain the TAL implementation of a @@ lookup to someone?
