Because with the current system, dynlayers can only be created after
the page has loaded. And since the dynapi captures the onload event,
you must use DynAPI.onLoad to create objects after the page has
loaded. Apparently, the next version will support creating of
dynlayers before the page loads (but the syntax may be different).
