Yes. If there is no other way sub-classing or helper classes will have to do the job. But the node
generating "template" view helper would be fancier :)

You mean you want to change the default values of attributes?

Yes, it should be possible to initialize FLUID with external presets. Could be TS in a TYPO3
context, but could in theory be from any source.

A specialized workaround for the paginator could be a "reference paginator". The first one has an id
and the second one simply refers to it. Of course the first one will have to store its content
somewhere so the second can access it.
