Although the last missing feature (inheriting changes in real time) is quite complex, so don't expect a solution soon. The next complex part will be nested components (e.g. frames). Of course you can already create/inherit frames. Paul implemented editing frames. I will do the nesting. > > Anyway, here is "the essence": > > I found a nice patch for this in bug 1287.
