An import point to consider here is that we are not limited to this traditional implementation. The only restriction that the WO frameworks place is that there is an implementation for

public WOElement template()

I have seen (I think it was another of David Terans "do it like this" examples that allowed there to me no .wod file, with the HTML containing (for example)

<WebObject name="Foo" WOComponent="WOHyperlink" class="bigLink" string=linkTitle/>


I have that code here somewhere. Allegedly, the problem is that extra parsing step that makes startup times larger, in fact this was the reason why these absurd .wo packages were created in the first place. Another problem is the ambiguity between strings and dynamic parts.

OpenGroupWare had some marginally better-thought out templating:

<wo:WOHyperlink const:href="http://..."; dynamic:onclick="someMethodOnComponent"..>

Which at least can handle XML. Leaving the problem with where you put the .api and the .woo files. And what to do with the bazillion of existing components out there. And localization...s

This is not to but the idea down, far from it. In fact, I'll gladly convert all of Wonder to it once it gets more fleshed out. But it needs some serious benefit over the existing solution (a working DreamWeaver plugin?).
