1. Provide an interface to fill it with pagelets (and of course define  
it with ZCML - we call that interfaces regions, but we don't require  
any special declaration)
2. Register a pagelet to fill a region (e.g.:  
https://malik.netalleynetworks.com/siesia-lf/trunk/structure/ 
configure.zcml)
3. Call the pagelets from your interface (e.g.:  
https://malik.netalleynetworks.com/siesia-lf/trunk/main/root.pt)

So i think it's pretty straight forward, as it doesn't require any  
heavy or very special work.

You can get https://malik.netalleynetworks.com/siesia-lf/trunk/ as well  
as https://malik.netalleynetworks.com/siesia-schema/trunk/ and play  
with it yourself - the basics are already there and they work (just put  
it into isia.siesia.lf and isia.siesia.schema).

Oh, i think Siesia Look & Feel (siesia-lf) shows quite well how it's  
meant to be used. However, yes there are still a few other more or less  
special cases where we need to clarify some issues. And we need to  
define the decision process of when one should use regions and pagelets  
and when one should use other tools.
