Zope uses different request factories for each content type.
Or at least you can use different factories one for each
request type.

Each request can have an own default skin.
This allows you to serve one single object with a
different default view per content-type based on a default skin.

See the ISkinnable concept which allows a very clean
separation for your and other similar use cases.
