That is how it's supposed to be, although I'm not sure if it's the best 
idea or not.  Currently, only a minimal RenderingContext is actually 
passed between components, and each creates its own instance of 
WAHtmlRenderer.  The idea here is that each component can define its 
own rendering mechanism - HtmlRenderer, the new Canvas stuff, some 
template system, and so on.  However, maybe this is unnecessary 
flexibility?
