We can obviously fix this, so long as we maintain API compatability. A lot  
of products use CMFDynamicViewFTI, but only through the interfaces defined  
there and in CMFPlone/interfaces/browserdefault.py.

*If* this is indeed a better solution, we'd need to know *how* to change  
CMFDynamicViewFTI to use the new machinery. That code is fairly small and  
simple, and someone who knows how an FTI works should hopefully not have  
much problem understanding how it works. If you can outline how to fix it,  
I'm sure we could get one applied and into a release timed to the switch  
to CMF 1.6.
