The problem is that html is undefined in my context. May be what I`m
trying to reproduce is somewhat complicated. I`m going to explain it
more precesily:
* I have a component that understands renderOn:
* Also the component has a pusher for updating itself.
* I have a process that periodically (5 seconds) sends an update
message to the component.

I want to reuse the renderOn: behaviour. For example the update
message to the component don`t have a reference to the render, so my
problem is to get a render in order to use the renderOn message.
How do I get the render in that context? is it possible?
