Hi!
there is indeed such a category of users, i.e. somewhere between
filesystem developers and application users. There will be support for
this kind of TTW editing in cpsskins (cf Custom Portlet), but it will be
purely limited to "simple" presentation  logic.

cf. http://www.z3lab.org/sections/front-page/design-features/custom-portlet

the difference with the Zope2 model I think is that "web producers" are
not going to be ZPT programmers, but more like "site composers" with the
ability to do minimal TTW template editing such as shown in the animation.
