I will play with this.
I get it! Hopefully this will be a great weekend, I am really going to tear into what Andy has accomplished and see if I can rig up something just a little more transparent.
What I see is a pattern with a page having an attribute of X and then a widget for X that has a rule watching the parameter X. That works well (again my deliberate withholding of Cells doc fails to stop an adopter!) but I want to see if we can simply create a widget named X and have it all Just Work, eliminating what is not all that bad, viz., creating a parallel slot on the page instance. But that trick might get exciting if we get into arrays/lists where a page has two Xs as children -- well, it could be handled, but why not automate that?
It gets trickier because we want a two-way exchange here -- maybe we have a c?n rule which when suitably provoked calculates a new initial default based on the user selecting an entirely new something-else in some other field. So sometimes when a value changes the Lisp model must be told, and sometimes the ajax model must be told.
I think sorting /this/ out will make for a more interesting weekend and possibly have me extending Cells a little.
