There is absolutely nothing magic about ZPT pages and the Web. We use page 
templates for all sorts of things including HTML, generic XML and RML. All 
that th e"view-version" of ZPT does is provide a request and context as top 
level namespaces. You can write your own page template class that provides 
other namespaces. You should start at looking at zope.pagetemplate.
