When I make your change the image in the page is replaced with
this:

[closure] in PDMainComponent>>renderContentOn:

Where PDMainComponent is just the class name for my class where I try
stuff out.  I use the new Renderer to get a string of html that can be
injected into the DOM.  I think I'd rather not make a new renderer, but
I don't know how to show the variation without it.  At the same time
and based on my current level or 'expertise', having the string of html
means I can reproduce what was shown in other venues more easily should
the need arise.  I just don't understand how the seaside internals work
well enough to know how to do it another way.  


Thanks for your guidance.
