i think a generalized interface for value printing is necessary. and i
definitely belongs into a view baseclass. so the question is weather the
existing function set is complete and correct.

additionally the render($view) method should be defined as
abstract/empty method in the base class because it basically that is the
only method all views have to implement.

:-)) very good point ... i wanted to figure out weather youd did'nt want
to see the old template style because of some design resons.

i will think about how it could be done but before i can do anything i
still have to dive deeper into the lib/div system. im still at the
beginning.
