What about accessing methods of the presentationmodel and/or the view 
itself?

would this be something like:
presentationModel.displayName

and

this.renderSomethingSpecial


furthermore support for submodels vie method calls like (pseodosyntax):

<f3:foreach presentationmodel.getListItems  as listitem>
   listitem.displaySpecialLabel
</f3>


Is this planned?

A default view helper "languagemarker" is missing imho.
