Thank you so much Karl, that was a comprehensive answer. I got it working 
using the second method you showed:

In case this is of use to any one:

My application instance name, or id, is yspanel, now a URL like this:

<http://10.0.10.28:8080/yspanel/dview/arg1/arg2/arg3/any/thing/at/all>

would result in:

<http://10.0.10.28:8080/yspanel>

which would call my normal index_html method with the following list added 
to the REQUEST dict:

REQUEST['YSURLARGS'] = ['dview', 'arg1', 'arg2', 
'arg3','any','thing','at','all']

all thanks to this method added to my class:


  def __before_publishing_traverse__(self, obj, req):
        """
        """
        stack = req['TraversalRequestNameStack']
	stack.reverse()
	if len(stack) and stack[0] == 'dview':
		# stop looking for next obj to publish by emptying stack
		req['TraversalRequestNameStack'] = []
		req['YSURLARGS'] = stack[:]
