Not so mad.  The way I will eventually probably solve this is by allowing
something like

(template elementNamed: 'questionPane')
  class: [currentQuestion paneClass];

Well, you could, but communicating between different frames is a *lot*
harder than communication between parent and subcomponent.

By the way, did you look at my UntemplatedComponent example?  I'm curious
if that way of doing things is more to your liking.
