The problem with many attributes is that we can either put them into<BR>
many specific tags or into the superclass of all tags. Either-way<BR>
there are some drawbacks. If we put these attributes into many<BR>
specific tags we have code duplication, if we put them into the<BR>
superclass we provide an attribute that might not be available to all<BR>
tags.<BR>
<BR>
The answer are Traits of course, that fit very well the XHTML<BR>
attribute modules. Since the development of Seaside is going on in 3.9<BR>
I wonder if it would make sense to take advantage of that? If only<BR>
Monticello would transparently load a flattened view into older<BR>
images, I would certainly vote for going this way ...<BR>
