Well thanks but if I want to output a certain field in my view this 
field has to be interpreted in a certain way. For text this is HTML and 
for an Image it is IMAGE.
So I guess it fully fits into the concept of a view - and the name of 
the function is not asContentObject but it is asImage. And this is used 
in the template so if I dont want it as Image I put there asSomethingElse..
