------------------------------------
David,
Thank you for taking the time to look at this.
The problems I've had in the past all boil down to the fact that the various
widgets did not derive from a common class, so it is difficult to add
functionality to the widget library as a whole without having to write a lot of
redundant code.
Why would I want to write four or five versions of the boundary comment code -
one for each widget? It is far simpler to write it once in the base class.
The problem I have with the widgets right now is that the new screenlet widget
can't interoperate with any widgets that aren't direct descendants of the
screenlet widget. In other words, it can do things with its own subelements,
but not subelements contained within its subelements. This patch (once
completed) will fix that.
I don't see how a "direct" approach would be better than simple OOP code. I'm
not sure I know what a "direct" approach is.
