Howard, Another thing that would be helpful here...to make the MarkupWriter a property that the component could replace in BeforeRender with its own local MarkupWriter, allow the body to render into the temporary MarkupWriter, and then in AfterRender, put the original MarkupWriter back in place again. Then the component has isolated into one Document everything generated by its own body, and it could do its own transformations and then call write() on the original MarkupWriter.
