Paul, I would love to see the resulting code. Thanks for offering.

I've got the other route working now as well, so looks like I'm spoilt for choice. The other thing I've built that might be of interest to some people is some hivemind magic that makes it possible for libraries to / automatically/ make themselves available to applications (and other libraries) via a hivemind contribution. Effectively what happens is that the library is 'autoloaded' into the current namespace when a component or page is first referenced from it. This isn't ideal for every situation, because of the risk of namespace conflicts, but it's extremely useful for me, and it might help with this component too, since you wouldn't need to explicitly reference the library containing the dynamically inserted component from the namespace where you're using the dynamic block. If anyone's interested, more than happy to share the code once I've sanitized it. Paul
