Unfortunately, this is working "as documented", although it is a source of endless confusion that init stage only applies to subviews!

I think the init stage API is terrible, but don't think we can revise it at this point.

------------------------------------

haha, funny thing!

suppose we've got this smaller testcase:
<canvas debug="true" >
 <button id="btnClick" text="Click Me!" />

 <view id="foo" initstage="defer" >
   <handler name="onclick" reference="btnClick" >
     Debug.write( "theView - onclick" );
   </handler>
 </view>

 <view id="bar" initstage="defer" >
   <view name="someview" />
   <handler name="onclick" reference="btnClick" >
     Debug.write( "theView - onclick" );
   </handler>
 </view>
</canvas>

What happens?

"foo" hasn't got any subviews:
LzNode() -> __LZinstantiationDone() -> __LZcallInit() -> __LZresolveReferences() //handlers get attached!

"bar" has got a subview:
LzNode() -> createChildren() //stops here
later: completeInstantiation() -> __LZinstantiationDone() -> __LZcallInit() -> __LZresolveReferences() //finally we get our handlers!


I guess I'd change the semantics of "defer"-initstage:
if you set initstage to "defer" on a view without subviews, the view shouldn't get initiated until completeInstantiation was called, like for a view _with_ subviews.

Handlers doesn't work with nested views and initstage="defer"

Handlers doesn't work if they are placed in nested views and their parent-views have initstage="defer". The same goes for defaultplacement. So it is very frustrating for users, if they can define a handler on a normal view with initstage="defer", but not i.e. on a list, because a list uses defaultplacement.
TestCase is attached.
