I had a closer look at the permalink stuff. And I don't think this idea 
is mature enough to ship permalinks with CMF 1.5.

- Permalinks should have speaking names, not numbers.

- Permalinks should point to the primary location of the object. 
Combined with a centralized content repository they make more sense.

- Implementing permalinks as aliases causes a lot of problems:

   o  do search engines index both locations?

   o  do relative links work?

   o  is the navigation consistent?

This is the old way to do it. The CMF 1.5 way looks like this:

...
ti = obj.getTypeInfo()
method = ti.getMethodPath('view')[0]
...


And BTW: tal:on-error is a bare except!
