Yeah, that's something I overlooked. setText needs to be called in order to
see an immediate change, but there's no reason to call setText every time
you change a label property. Doesn't setHTML also fire a load event, too?
An addition boolean passed to each of the setter method could determine if
the text is to be re-rendered. or optionally, we could just require that
setText should be invoked manually, rather than automatically from within
another setter method.
