Are you talking about the 'zpt customization prototype' that won't be 
ready in time for Five 1.5/Zope 2.10 according to the log message for 
http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/checkins/2006-April/001310.html?

I'm not happy with limiting TTW customizations to zpt customizations. 
That will force people to add their custom logic to the templates. The 
goal of views was to move in the opposite direction.

But I have no time to work on something better.
