[woody question] Is there a better way?

[Mark Lundquist]

Hi,

I have a form that needs to include some elements that were not 
generated from widgets.  Here's what I need to generate, from my woody 
template:

                    <input type="file" name="logo-file"
                      onchange="document.forms[0].submit()" />
                    <div>
                      <img src="${logoURI}" />
                    </div>
I know that if I switch to 2.1.4, I would get a <wd:upload> widget to 
generate the <input type="file">.  But be that as it may, I still need 
my image preview there with it.  But I couldn't find any way for the 
woody stylesheets to "pass through" elements that need to be included 
in (for instance) the table generated by the group-columns-output mode.

So here's what I did: I added this new "<wi:custom>" element to 
woody-field-styling.xsl:

  <xsl:template match="wi:custom">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="*[not (self::wi:label)]" />
    <xsl:call-template name="woody-field-common"/>
  </xsl:template>
And then in my template file I write:

                <wi:custom id="logo">
                  <wi:label>Logo</wi:label>
                    <input type="file" name="logo-file"
                      onchange="document.forms[0].submit()" />
                    <div>
                      <img src="${logoURI}" />
                    </div>
                </wi:custom>
Seems to work fine.  So my question is: am I missing something?  Was 
there an out-of-the-box way to do this, and I'm just not seeing it?  
Or, by chance, is there an out-of-the-box way in 2.1.4 but not 2.1.3?
