Strange, I copied it directly from my ZCML file were I had tested it.

Yes.

Yes. But it allows to create and use a package like z3c.layer.pagelet (which has "index.html" as default view name of the exceptions) in an application built in BB which uses "index" as default view name of all other views.

Really strange. I added my changed version to this e-mail. (I even tried to copy my ZCML code from above to a fresh copy of your unauth-test and it worked: when accessing a page which does not exists the browser shows: "login required")
