I mean that legacy portlet is currently the only existing and working way to implement new portlets TTW, and portal_skins/custom is the only reasonable place for their ZPT (because portal root would be even worse).

Injecting plain text strings felt a rare special case for me, but of course, it could be made to work similarly to ZPT-fragements (@@theme-fragments/foobar now, maybe @@ttw/foobar later, if Eric agrees with the themefragments implementation).

I'm not convinced yet. TTW is different environment and has different audience than FS. I'm not trying to convert FS-developers to TTW or otherway around. Forcing class + method -definitions in TTW adds mandatory boilerplate and two indenting levels before your the actual code. I cannot see it making TTW any more popular.

Also, I'd prefer to stay within the limits of restricted python (no importing [or need to remember where to import from] BrowserView).

Instead, I think, I should fix the current implementation to provide all the same script locals as legacy PythonScripts (in addition to the currently provided "self", when called through ZPT-fragment view).
