Good idea! But, it didn't work. :(

ZPublisher still is not picking up the acquired index_html, hence my 
__call__ function is being called.  I could try to make my __call__ 
function do what ZPublisher would do, but that's a nasty hack, IMO, and 
breaks the possibility of a standard override to index_html with 
__browser_default__ and other stuff.
