Re: [Laszlo-dev] Any idea what this line from LzParam is supposed to mean?

Given the comment from Adam, since LzParams is not supposed to treat any keywords specially, I think we are better off making it not be a node. If anyone was using it as a node, they will have to adapt. (It would be really bad if keys like 'name' or 'id' got sidetracked and not entered as a param!)

Some thoughts:
- What if people use "new lz.params()", so accessing the LzParam through the "lz"-namespace? That won't work anymore. - and less important: Maybe someone expects the LzParam object to be in the subnodes-Array of its parent. Same goes for id and all other LzNode stuff. Even if I don't think anyone actually uses these aspects of LzNode for LzParam.... 


I think the original idea must have been to make it available in LZX
somehow, but that was before
my time..


There is one usage I saw in LzDataset

function getParams (){
   if (this.params == null) {
       new LzParam ( this , { name : "params" } );
   }

   return this.params;
}

But that could just be made to bind "this.params = new LzParam()", I
don't see anywhere that  depends on it
being an actual LzNode for any reason.
