Maybe a better thing would be to create your own flag to silence the

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).
The sequence is:
node's data is set to the matching datapointer
ondata is sent
applyData is called.
(I'm not sure why applyData is there. It would seem to me that if
you wanted to massage the data, you would just write a setter method
for data.)
