Hi Sylvain,

Excellent!

>   <include package="five.grok" />

What's the relationship between five.grok and grokcore.view? Is the 
latter a dependency on the former?

Would it work to use the context() and name() directives from 
grokcore.view instead of five.grok?

Are these documented anywhere?

Cool! I'm more interested in a z3c.form version, though. Is anyone 
working on that? If not, I would be interested to figure out how to do that.

Cool! Does that take IPermission utility names? Or Zope 2 permission 
strings?

Thanks again!
