like:
p = c.currentPosition()
print p.h
"my headline"
print p.b
"my node\nbody"
print p.cls
my.nodetype
where p.cls would be your class, and hold a set of characteristics?
And Leo would look up my.node somehow to provide an
icon bitmap? and plugins could check p.cls and treat the
node accordingly? this could provide more than a bitmap, right?
I've been wishing for enhanced templating capability, could
this contribute towards that? where the class defined a
"skeleton", a "render_with" method ... in addition to "display_icon"
Would it be an element in the xml?
