[Zope-Moz] PropertyView - The story so far

Hi all,

I haven't made a lot of progress here mainly because this endeavour is tougher
than I expected (and I haven't spent a lot of time on it either ;-)

Issues have come up in both RDF generation and UI because there are all these
different kinds of properties : string, boolean, tokens, selections etc, each
having with its own data structure and possible UI widget. This makes it
possible to represent the properties in various ways in the RDF as well as the
UI. After considering (and at times half-way implementing) the various
possibilities, I decided to do a very basic thing that at least works.

What it's turning out to look like (and I don't seem to like the way its going)
can be seen here:

(Please ignore the top three buttons - they are there for debugging purposes
only)

Myself, I haven't really used Zope as such for any real site. Fellow zopistas
who have been using Zope would probably have a good idea of what they want for
a useful PropertyView. So, I would greatly appreciate any comments,suggestions
or ideas you may have.

Thanks,
Shalabh
