I think David means to say... go search on DejaNews.com for threads such as
"Object Widget", "Objet" which date back up to a year or more. There's been
quite a bit of talk on this paradigm. I *still* think it would be useful to
bang heads and come up with a commonly agreed-upon superclass for this (and then
convincing RSI to include it), which provides high level message passing and
simple, but powerful life-cycle control.

Of course, that's for another day...
