There are some other ramifications i'd like to bring to like for others that haven't yet tried the code

- Eliminates all extraneous usage of id's
- allows for refactorable presentation without changing references in methods - provides two way communication both up and down the chain by way of the ._.parent attribute - uses a seperate tag so that attributes used to name waypoints are clearly seperable from "name" attributes

Here's a fun note; because eval() is not supported in DHTML (right?) i removed the "at" attribute that would let you specify a waypoint to be defined on something other then a nodes waypoint parent to support aspect-oriented namespacing

i'm still wondering how mixins are progressing; i'm waiting on that to consider how and where i use it in the library i'm offering to the community.

Anyone else try it out?

I think you have an interesting idea here that addresses a deep problem.  
`classroot` was an attempt to mitigate the issue somewhat, but does not solve 
the general problem that you would like, in an arbitrarily complex nest of 
nodes, to be able to address any lexically apparent name without having to 
navigate explicitly up and down the node hierarchy.  I have a placeholder bug 
for this that I can't seem to locate just now...
