This was a change in Mason 1.1:
- ** The base_comp is now changed for each component call, unless that
component call uses a component object for its first argument, or the
call starts with SELF: or PARENT:.
It was controversial at the time, for this reason...
If what you want in submit_notice is always the top level component,
you can use
$m->request_comp->attr('submit_notice_message')
