I think that the binding control will address many of the
problems that Toby raised. It boiled down to this:

  - Some bits of code are designed to work on specific objects
    or kinds of objects. The binding control will allow authors
    to make sure that these are applied to the expected
    objects.

  - Some bits are designd to be reusable in any context. 
    Authors will still be able to create these.  Note that
    authors will be able to do this even when the bits are
    used as "sub-templates".
