There's certainly an issue that if the Grid component grew to encompass every possible user's most remote needs, the end result would not be useable by anybody (a Grid component with 27 required parameters of which six are detailed interfaces, etc., etc.). The point is, the common components need to hit a 90/10 rule of usefulness. A secondary goal would be to make the underlying components of Grid (GridRows, GridColumns, GridPager) easy to reuse/extend for a more application-specific Grid implementation.
