But I think an important one. Moving forward, I'd like to eliminate needing to embed the extension mapping anywhere. We made a real stride in this regard by adding "action" to the html:link tag.
We really should be able to run everything on logical names. I use this exact technique in all my tag-based apps to get around the "welcome page" use.
There should be an action property here too, so that we can go directly to the Welcome action, or whatever is appropriate for the application.
