[Zope-CMF] Skins inheriting skinpaths?

[sean.upton@uniontrib.com]

Rather than a text area (CMF 1.4) or an input box (CMF 1.3), why not make
this a hidden field displayed as a table with icons, with the ability to add
(plus), delete (minus), promote/demote (up/down arrows) entry order, and
save such changes to the list.  There could be an icon to represent an
alias/superset and another icon to represent a folder.

The only issue with such a UI is the ability to make multiple changes on the
client-side to make changes save in a single transaction, just like you can
with a manual edit or a text box.  Might require some sense of DHTML and
Javascript, and render as a dumb list in a textarea in old browsers?

Said tree would be serializable to the "custom, zpt_topic, zpt_content,
zpt_generic, zpt_control, skin:Core" style syntax, also (to support
display/modification in older browsers).

any ideas for UI, other than the hacky prefix:skin_name syntax?
