I mean that fewer decisions are better.  If the use of replicants
(Bladerunner, anyone? :) ) can be behind the scenes as much as
possible,  the easier it'll be on the folks that develop other parts of
the app.    

I guess I've thought of you (JT) as developing the core API that folks
build Wobjects around. The easier you make the core API to build on the
better it is for people creating Wobjects and other functionality. Part
of making stuff easier is keeping the number of variables a developer
has to juggle to a minimum.

A slightly esoteric point, probably.  And kinda hollow considering I'm
not yet doing "core" WebGUI development. So I'll shut up now. :)
