I think with all the shuffling of components around, we should do another beta to ensure things are shaken out. I think that beta should be a code freeze as well, and we should try to get to a release candidate.
I haven't stumbled over this problem with name/qualifiedName yet. As long as
1) You don't break the demos
2) You don't break the test suite
3) You extend the test suite to excercise the new code (as simple as creating some pages that displays their name and pageName).
I'm perfectly good with things.
I'm going on a ski trip and will be out of the loop (no e-mail) until friday. I would suggest you put together whatever code you want over the next few days and we can catch up, and vote on the next steps, friday.

Hi Howard,
Will there be a new beta because of the getQualifiedName() issue?
I am asking because I would like to check in some major changes I have done with the Table's column rendering (backward compatible ones), and I am not sure that would be a good idea if there is no another beta. What do you think? This should have been ready earlier, but I did not like the previous design of the changes and sat back at drawing board.
With respect to getQualifiedName(), I personally think that it is a showstopper, but that it will be very easy fix using the renaming (having getName() and getPageName() instead of getQualifiedName() and getName()). If you want, I can do that -- it is a relatively simple matter, and will affect (directly or indirectly) very little code. The alternative way (implementing the current specs) would definitely require your attention, I think, since it has far reaching implications.
Best regards for now,
-mb
