That's a pretty reasonable way to do it. Another option could be could be
to use one div and use `Animation.send`. Basically you could do something
like this.
```
Animation.interrupt
[ Animation.to [Animation.opacity 0]
, Animation.send DoneFadingOutOldTextPleaseSwitchModelToNewText
, Animation.to [Animation.opacity 1]
]
```
In this case you'd have to keep new text in a 'staging area' in your model
and then switch it in when DoneFadingOutOldTextPleaseSwitchModelToNewText
fires.
