The way it has been done, seems the easiest to me and is very flexible. I
am not sure why it is more desirable to have <html>, <head>, etc. in the
layout. I have found so far that it is probably required for JSP (if I can
get it to work at all,) so I am trying to work within that framework.
In Rafal's design you add a Head object to the context. Then screen
templates can add stuff to it. In the previous method the Head object was
added to the Context through RunData, data.getPage.getHead(), so it would
seem to me that from the screen templates' point of view things are about
the same. And navigations lose their access to the Head object in the new
way, maybe no big deal.
Why again is this better? (You have probably already told me, I will go look
again.)
