[Laszlo-dev] This code gets an error in legals, but not in trunk, something with binding of node names?

[P T Withington]

When I run your example through lzc, I don't see any code emitted for  
the dataset tag in trunk.  (Huh?)  But in legal's, I see:

LzInstantiateView({attrs: {initialdata: "<datacontent />", name:  
"mydata"}, name: "dataset"}, 1);

Which seems to be the opposite of what you are seeing.  But, maybe  
the clue lies in what the tag compiler is generating (or not).
