Directory structure is not important at this point since using the LM
enables us to change it at any time (documentation not withstanding).
I have no problem with us working with the suggested structure from the
archives.

Or not usig it ;-)
The LM will save the day (documentation excepted)

No, it was Tim sugesting views. I don't "get" what Tim is trying to
illustrate, he promised an example with respect to meta-data (one day)
My own view is that this part of the discussion was only relevant to the
old skinning system. In views we have no concept of body-**.html or
tabs-**.html. Instead we have named contracts.
To get a particular part of the a page you have two choices:
1) create a specific view for it (Thorsten and I discussed this the mail
archive is linked from the relevant part of the IRC log)
2) add a matcher that allows us to retrive the content of a specific
contract only
**NOTE** 2 is theory only, I have not thought it through

FallbackResolver needs to be replaced by Locationmap work Thorsten is
working on.
