Yes it's true, but see my post "About
TemplateDesigner"

Not really. The documentation will make it clear to
the users that you can use either the long method or
the short method. They will then decide.

Yes, a little bit slower. This is due to the {} that
has to be created. This method is very usefull when
creating a few layers aty a time. It will not give
best performance if used inside a loop.

It's pretty much finalised now. So you should be able
to use it without any trouble.

I've never tested the speed of inline layers. but I
think it should be 30-40% faster as you will not have
to call getOuterHTML() & getInnerHTML() functions.
PS. The code inside the CVS is pretty much stable. I
think you can go ahead with the creation of your
widgets. If any is to be change it will not break the
api. Also note that we'll drop DynImage and use
functions.Image (getImage()) and ImageAnimation for
ImageClip.
