I think writing your own directives, including defining views is fair game. 
However, I think you duplicate a lot of work this way. I would recommend that 
you simply reuse the `zope:view` handler function. This way, if I change the 
underlying framework and update `zope:view` in a backward-compatible way, you 
are automatically updated as well. BTW, I use existing directive handlers all 
the time.

So in you case you should call:

from zope.app.component.metaconfigure import view

view(_context, new_class, IBrowserRequest, name, for_, layer)

That's it!

Stephan
