OK, that means that the test in Five.browser.tests.test_defaultview
lin 94 iw wrong, as it explicitly tests that they CAN be attributes.
;)

    This tests whether an existing ``index_html`` method is still
    supported and called:

      >>> print http(r'''
      ... GET /test_folder_1_/testindex HTTP/1.1
      ... ''')
      HTTP/1.1 200 OK
      ...
      Default index_html called


>From Five.browser.tests.defaultview.zcml:

  <browser:defaultView
      for="Products.Five.tests.testing.simplecontent.IIndexSimpleContent"
      name="index_html"
      />

If you want to have non-views as browser default, we still need to use
__browser_default__, then.

The option is to allow attributes, and specify the browserdefault with
@@ to force it to be a view.
