Ehm, why do you need an extra marker interface for this? The
Source interface has already these methods:
String getParameter( String name );
long getParameterAsLong( String name );
Iterator getParameterNames();
So, you ask a source for any information, e.g. the height or
anything else and if the source supports this information,
you will get it.
I think we should really avoid this flood of additional
source marker interfaces.
