Chris Howe commented on OFBIZ-875:
----------------------------------
The best practice here is _where possible_ eliminate the usage of
<platform-specific/>. So, the objection is moving data that is currently
outside of the <platform-specific/> element into the <platform-specific/>
element is not a good idea.
Like I said, I agree with this feature being added as it certainly makes the
html element more robust. However, I am likely to disagree with where you'll
want to actually use this feature in the community project.
1) Unordered lists - likely have a better home in menu widgets or tree widget
if they were to receive as much attention as is being given to screen widget
improvement
2) labels shouldn't move into a less generic direction. Rather, reserved label
styles should be handled more in line with the desired interface by the
renderer.
As I see it now, it's likely that the only place that the community project
will benefit from this is when adding a small JavaScript snippets. At the same
time, there's no harm for a custom application to worry about best practices
when it's only envisioned usage is html.

> Sometimes there is a need to output a little HTML that the screen widget
> doesn't accomodate, but it's not enough code to justify a separate ftl file.
> This improvement adds an html-snippet element to the platform-specific->html
> element which allows HTML to be directly inserted in a widget XML file.
