Yeah, flash layouts are handy. But the added overhead of running a
layout and whatnot hardly seems worth it for a one-liner message. If
you were using this in conjunction with the params() to display a
detailed error/warning/whatever message, I'd agree. But for simple
static text, I prefer using the 'key' parameter and using the normal
functionality.
This is just a personal opinion though; to each his own!
