[dev] "Divot" idea

Attached is an incomplete but illustrative example of a concept that 
I'm working on for a possible new PEAR library tenatively called 
"Divot."  A divot is sort of an HTML widget... it could be a form 
control, or a form, or a reusable spin component.

The idea is to be able to automagically dispatch events back to their 
respective objects, and automatically handle Ajax callbacks, and still 
have all the code localized to the thing we are working with.  And 
still be lightweight.

Let me know what you think.  I'm only attached to the basic concept, I 
know there are a lot of things with this idea which could use some 
work.  Objections of any sort are always welcome.

(Better names also welcome.  I don't know why "divot" came to mind, but 
I was more interested in starting to code.)

Thanks,
