Hi Erik,
I didn't know about logical operator short-circuiting, thanks for the
info - it's good to know.
But this obviously wasn't in place on my tests or I wouldn't have got
the results I did. So I don't think logical operator short-circuiting
is a reliable enough solution to this problem...
I considered doing exactly what you did - using a global variable to
store metadata - but even then don't you have 2 issues with that?
1. lazy programming because you end up evaluating things before you
actually need them
2. a nightmare mapping the metadata to its owner elements
?
The flexibility provided by the metadata plugin is just too good and I
can't think of another method that is worth while using...
