I'm glad you think so :)  Mainly I really like the included
meta-data in Python scripts on the filesystem, but the commented
data-block is rather fragile and ad hoc. Flare seemed like a 
good starting point for thought on formalization.

I entirely agree, and wouldn't like to extend the '_.htm'-naming 
beyond the involvement of the "DreamWeaver team".

It also makes one use "folder['name.htm']" instead of "folder.name"
in Python, which is almost as bad as "_['sequence-item']"!
