>             Project: XAP
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>         Environment: HTML
>            Reporter: Turyn, Michael

> Currently, to use an MCO declared in a XAL file, one must include the source for it in the HTML defining the page, e.g. for
> .xal file
> ======
> 	<mco:mco 
> 		xmlns:mco="http://www.openxal.org/mco" 
> 		id="handler" 
> 		src="aHandlerObject"
> 	/>
> we need to have 
> .html file
> =======
>     <script language="JavaScript" src="uriToSomeFileWhere_aHandlerObject_isDefined.js"> </script>
> ---the "src" would more accurately be a "bean" or "object" attribute, since it doesn't refer to a source file, but to a constructor defined ...somewhere.  Typically, this is in a <script/> tag in the html for the page, tying the page to a particular XAL and vice versa.
> Just as bridge classes should load their peer classes, relieving the page designer of knowing about the widgets, mco's under JS should be able to have a URI which can be used to load the object needed.
> (Perhaps we should keep the freedom for people who really want to to load from the page---that allows locally-defined versions of handlers....)
