I agree that there is a distinction. I'm just not sure if it is profitable
to make it any more. Just as today's web pages often have an "OnLoad" that
can modify the look of the page for it is displayed, future pages might
have an:

OnLISTITEMStart( item ){

}

which would manipulate the list item's flow objects.
