It's untested (other than manual verification), and assumes a lot. SNS was not built with this in mind and the entire suite of specs for standard tags (or any tags added to the Page model) should be run against a TextAsset to ensure that everything works properly. I played with the idea of changing the structure of Radiant to do something like this, but I actually think SNS ought to change it's structure so that is is easier to do. > Thanks very much for this.
