Hi string,

thanks for the reply and the little improvement.

Getting further in my reflection this week end (yeah I know ...) I
could not help
thinking about the way the feature of adding a gadget as disapeared
from the
developpers toolbox.

To my mind, this loss is just a Side effect of the deprecation of the
html-inline
and should not have connection whit that.

I mean, why don't extend the current API to provide a standardisation
on the
container level to specify how a gadget is added ?

Doing this, every gadgets.* compliant container should make available
an implementation
of that, allowing developpers to have higher level of abstraction to
perform such task.

What do you think about that ?
