2) View - To me there are three stock views, or outputs, in Drupal.   The first is just themeless output.  The second is the themed   output.  The third is as an XML-RPC request.

Here lies a task for us too. Drupal has the themes for view, but ATM the only output possible is HTML. That is (and there lies a huge taks) because of a lot of hardcoded HTML. So in order to get the V layer correct, we need to get all the hardcoded HTML (even if they are hardcoded in theme functions) away, or better centralised. One possibility is a theme wrapper function: a lower level function that will allow you to define, in one place, what HTML/PScode/SVG etc is used to wrap your content in. Ber
