The title "scope of views" is miss-leading. ;-)
The scope is leading again to an endless discussion and I do not want
this until we have an active dev base around views. I stated the scope
of views in some mails and I think now we have to code more around views
rather then to talk.
Anyway I changed the title of the issue and the priority again.

This is definitely a major issue that will have to be fixed for 0.8 -
read the first sentence of our "50" word description:
Apache Forrest is a publishing framework that transforms input from
various sources into a unified presentation in one or more output formats.
If views are to replace skins then they must provide a means for
producing other formats as well otherwise we are not doing our first
sentence thing.
It is a small job (I believe ;-) so why delay?
