The Page class isn't part of the django toolset, it's something I
wrote myself, but it's nothing fancy.  It's just a way to handle the
elements that are common amongst multiple views.  I take the maxim
Don't Repeat Yourself seriously, and I like to achieve that via class
inheritance.  There's nothing stopping you from writing a whole bunch
of functions and passing requests and contexts between them, if that's
your poison.

I doubt there's enough material there to fuel a SIG talk.  It would
probably take all of five minutes to fully demonstrate it.
