this is great.  This is the kind of thing that should be in a helpful hints/best 
practices/cookbook section of the documentation.

question: does the lval names get put into the context.local.<blah> namespace or 
are they in their own namespace?  I'm worried about overwriting data on trying 
to bring into the template.

don't need to be (but you should for style sheets. Dammed powerful).  Let's look 
at the original source again:

<input type="checkbox" name="cbbc7b1bd5ae6cfd29" value="bc7b1bd5ae6cfd29" 
onclick="CCA(this,'mystery');DownReset();" >

ostensibly, I would use a <al-input type="checkbox" ...> so the question becomes 
how do I fit in my "onclick..." statement.  It is albatross sufficiently clever 
that if it encounters a field it doesn't recognize, it just passes it through to 
the HTML?
