Hi Roman, i assumed people would follow the javabeans notation of  
getFooDisplay.  Too bad django doesn't. hmm...well, I'd say create a  
wrapper object that converts syntax...register a renderer like  
djangoToBeans object that answers getFooDisplay and delegates to  
django object.  Might be Able to use reflection or something to make  
this more automatic...
