You do not need the layout support here, since this view does not render as a 
standalone Web page.

Simply pass in self.context.

This directive is not needed, since you never render it as a standalone Web 
page. You already instantiate the view within the person view's update() 
method.

BTW, you forgot the most interesting part. The templates. In the person view 
template you have to somewhere do this or something similar:

<div tal:replace="structure view/address/render" />
