yeah, i'm certainly someone who could have written this component too.
only i didn't. and now i've slowly added more and more instances of the
"one time" solution of webmarkupcontainer + simpleattributemodifier.
the only hope here is to have a handy core component. i would have
used that throughout. another argument in favor is that this is such a
common problem that we'll either have (a) no implementation of a custom
component to fix the problem and the requisite small messes everywhere
or (b) slightly different implementations of this component in every project
possibly each with its own quirks or bugs or naming conventions. i don't
think either alternative is good.
