you into the 'idea' that here is my data -- do with it what you will.
Yes! Spot on! Accessors (of the get or set variety) are problematic in that
they tempt lazy encapsulation.

eah, and the biggest problem is that MUI callbacks can not be addressed

probably need to have an extra movie script for every behavior that uses

How about that for encapsulation and reuse?
