Need to publish details about what goes into the model configuration object, with options and ideas for using it.

Like html class names, having multiple tags that can potentially match a single element would increase
the flexibility.

Allow label properties to be arrays of strings, as well as a single string. Consider allowing comma delimited values as well.

Want the ability to several components as related group, without needing to make them all children of another component. Equivalent to a 'div' wrapper for html.

Create some examples for using the package. At this stage, the examples will mostly be configuration file objects. The required associated code is minimal. Examples actually using the nested model structure are needed too.

Handle (additional) initialization, at least for the simpler cases. Provide a setup, postcreate, doafter, or other property that can specify component specific methods to execute on the instance after it has been created. Methods that do not require any arguments are simple. Just provide the name of the method.

setup: "on"

use an array instead of a single string to specify multiple operation, and the order they are to be run in

Methods that need parameters are more complex. Something like:

setup: { "blink": [array, of, arguments] }

Will it be practical to reference metadata for the argument values?

Need to get the structure in place, add tests for the existing code, then get caught up to where TDD is practical.

The passed model object should be treated as readonly. It could potentially be reused to load components for another board.
