This looks like it should work, but it will not as there is no
inheritance with skin properties. Only:
af|breadCrumbs {
-tr-show-last-item:false;
}
Will work. I think that either skin properties should be moved into a
separate non-css file or a different approach altogether should be
taken. For example, how could one not show the last item in
breadcrumbs only under a certain component? All other frameworks use
component attributes for this, but Trinidad puts it in these
non-intuitive skinning keys.
Just something I think should be thought through before any common
approach is implemented.
