[Xswt-developer] ID as tag

[<ha...@id...>]

Hi,

I think I've suggested this before, but I don't think we made a =
decision:
How about supporting IDs as tags, to make an existing object the =
"current
object". This will make it possible to set/change properties and add
children to objects, without modifying the "original" element. I've =
often
had to copy and comment out an element, to make a slight change without
losing the original. Instead I could've added the "change" by using the =
ID
as the tag and adding whatever change I wanted there.
