[Seaside][VW] Porting 2.6a2 - WAHtmlAttributes

[Marco Qualizza]

Hello,

   I know it's been a week since you posted this, so your issue might be resolved...  But I think that the example you gave is faulty...

   id := (html attributes at: 'id' ifAbsent: [ 'id' -> 'default-id' ]) value

   is, at least according to the Dictionary API, exactly what you'd expect...  (#at:ifAbsent: evaluates the block and returns the result...)

   Things would be wonky (wrt Dictionary API) if:
   a> html attributes at: 'id' ifAbsent: [ 'id' -> 'default-id' ]
     in any way modified the attributes (the block doesn't modify the attributes)
   b> html attributes at: 'id' ifAbsentPut: [ 'default-id' ]
        returned an association.
