That's what I thought too. But:

I go to an object and get an 404 error. Now add this ZCML to configure.zcml:

    <defaultView
        name="index.html"
        for="CS.Link.interfaces.ILink"
        layer="CS.skin.interfaces.ICentershockSkin"
    />

and the same URL work. You see that there is already a view named index.html

    <page
        name="index.html"
        for="CS.Link.interfaces.ILink"
        template="link.pt"
        permission="zope.View"
        layer="CS.skin.interfaces.ICentershockSkin"
    />

But why is it not used as the default view?

Thanks,
