<binding> creates a binding object (an instance of IBinding) that
knows about the page (*) and can read/update OGNL expression rooted in
the page.  The binding is passed into the component so that it can
gain access to properties of the page.  The <set> element is more
traidtional, a value is obtained and injected in (set and forget). 
Parameters and bindings are bi-directional, the component can (via the
binding) change the properties of the page.


(*) I use the term page for clarity, it's really the container of the
component which is often a page, but nearly as often, another
component.
