Neat trick :-)
We love acquisiton, but it won't quite do it :(
The default index_html will get called, unless you put /folder/ on the
end of your URL. which is horrible :(

Actually, the more important case is for Trackers, where you probably
want them to look/act differently on an instance by instance basis.

This is mainly for presentation methods, but there's no reason if it's
solved for them, it can't be used for any other methods...

I imagine it'd need playing with python name spaces and/or acquisition
to implement, but might well be worth it.

cheers,

Chris

PS: For acquisiton, is it context before containment or containment
before cotext?
