> It would be desirable to support a simplified syntax for obtaining data via bindings and inserting it.  A proposal has been to adopt ant-like syntax ("${...}") and interpret the expression within the braces as a binding reference.  This would eliminate the need for many Insert components, i.e.:
> <h1>${thread.title}</h1>
> rather than:
> <h1><span jwcid="@Insert" value="thread.title"/></h1>
> Or:
> ${message:prompt}
> rather than:
> <span key="prompt"/>
> This kind of substitution is less invisible, but generally less intrusive, than creating a new component.
> Further, the use of the Any component could be reduced via support for:
> <img src="${imagePath}"/>
> rather than:
> <img jwcid="@Any" src="ognl:imagePath"/>
> Some questions occur; are the following legal?
> <${element}> ... </${element}>
> <img jwcid="@Image" src="${asset:foo}"/>
> <div ${attribute}="${value}"/>
> A final note: these bindings should be treated as we treat informal parameters today; this includes automatically expanding IAssets into their corresponding URLs.
