OK.

That was my initial solution, however I found an instance where that doesn't 
work. If your views are being replicated, you have an initial instance before 
the data comes through (the data coming from the server, so well after the 
application has started). That instance has it's oninit method called, and 
then some time later the data is bound. Hmm, does ondata fire before or after 
the attributes are bound? If after, that would be the solution. (my wish is 
for finer-grained events for things like this. I'd love to have an event that 
says something like 'you are about to be deleted because your datapath node 
has gone', currently I'm manually doing that so I can register the deletion 
on the server).

I have yet to read that. I really should pick it up some time.
