Thanks for the pointer! This little trick allowed me to finally 
implement "skin debugging" (in javascript), which will save us quite 
some time in our daily work. See the attached screenshot. It wraps each 
skin rendering with according html comments, which show the location of 
that skin file (which is actually, due to multiple repositories and 
complex inheritance hierarchy not that trivial). Additionally I added 
some simple timing info. How cool is that? :-)

thanks,
  michi

p.s. i also attached my implementation, which will be part of the 
knallgrauLib. I plan on posting a public access to the 
knallgrauLib-repository next week when we finished the documentation 
part. just to let you know.
