In
http://labs.openlaszlo.org/trunk-nightly/docs/developers/class-inheritance.html
in section 7, these paragraphs appear
7. Class Names and Tag Names
>
> All classes are defined in the global namespace. If you wanted to
> instantiate a class dynamically, you can write new global[classString](...).
> Using the previous example, mybox can be instantiated like new
> global['mybox'](canvas.redbox, { bgcolor: 0x00ffff }).
>
> 7.1. Mapping Class and Tag Names
>
> Be aware that names for tag classes are not the same as their JavaScript
> counterpart; rather, the JavaScript name is lz.[tagname]. For example, to
> access a <view> in script, you would use lz.view. Thus, to instantiate a
> view through script, you would write new lz.view(...) (not new view(...)).
>
> Note
>
In earlier versions of OpenLaszlo, there was an idiosyncratic mapping
> between class names and tag names, and classes in the LFC were handled
> differently than user defined classes. For example, the tagname <view>
> mapped to JavaScript class lz.view. With OpenLaszlo 4.0, the lz.[tagname]
> mapping is universal, and the old mappings are deprecated.

I think the first paragraph can just be deleted.
The last paragraph note about earlier versions looks like it got substituted
by accident in a search and replace, and ought to read "For example, the
tagname <view> mapped to JavaScript class LzView"
