This seems like an elegant solution.

I would strongly suggest that.

+1 for saner view names. "document_view" or "document_edit_form" is just
a lame legacy from the one flat view namespace that portal_skins provide.

By the way, unless you make @@view.html the default view name for
documents or whatever (using five:defaultViewable and
browser:defaultView), why not call it @@index.html??
