Forum OpenACS Improvement Proposals (TIPs): Re: Enhance <multiple> to enable locally-aliased and implicit multirow reference styles.

As a TCL programmer, I am naming the multirow variables very clearly and carefully. In complicated pages I am using long descriptive names for my multirows so it is clear to the designer what they contain. But the long descriptive names can obscure the visual structure of the ADP to the designer by creating a repeated pattern that does not convey useful information. This repeated information still takes up a lot of space. So a locally-defined aliased name becomes useful to remove the redundancy while maintaining minimal context. This helps reduce boiler-plate code and encourage concise expression of purpose.
