[Laszlo-dev] Any idea what this line from LzParam is supposed to mean?

[André Bargull]

Some thoughts:
- What if people use "new lz.params()", so accessing the LzParam through 
the "lz"-namespace? That won't work anymore.
- and less important: Maybe someone expects the LzParam object to be in 
the subnodes-Array of its parent. Same goes for id and all other LzNode 
stuff. Even if I don't think anyone actually uses these aspects of 
LzNode for LzParam....
