I think there is definite room for improvement. Before you write 
anything new though, you should explore z3c.pagelet. We started 
discussing integrating this approach into Grok, also at the Grokkerdam 
sprint.

There are a few open issues concerning z3c.pagelet integration:

* we need to make sure that it becomes dirt-simple to configure using Grok.

* we need to make this work smoothly with grok.View somehow; ideally 
grok.View will become pagelets without breaking backwards compatibility.

* I for one need to internalize the details. I got it when Christian 
Theune explained it at the Grokkerdam sprint, but now things are fuzzy 
again. :)

Vudo is interesting but fairly experimental at this stage, while 
z3c.pagelet have been used in production at various locations, so I 
think this is a better bet at early integration into Grok. That's not to 
stop further explorations on Vudo's part - I'm sure there is room for 
improvement beyond pagelets.
