[Seaside] Issues with WAHtmlBuilder>>anchorWithUrl:do:

[Roger Whitney]

Got it. The classes that implement renderOn: are Array, BlockClosure, 
Object, String and UndefinedObject. Via Object anything that responses 
to asString will also work.

Is there a reason renderOn: is in Array rather than 
SequenceableCollection (or Collection) so other collections can be used?
