I understand that variables are _usually_ set in the controller. As an
experienced RoR developer, I am used to being able to have a VIEW set
a variable that is used by the LAYOUT. This makes complete sense to
seperate code logic and presentation. A trivial example is that the
controller programmer doesn't care what the title of a page is - that
is the call of the page designer/html person (yes, localisation etc,
may change this - but this is just a simple example).
A better example may be when the designer/html person wants the layout
to include a different element for certain pages/views. Why have two
layouts, solely in order to replace one element with a different one?
Wouldn't it be nice if the view could dictate which element it needed?
