I'm just wondering why the generated Java source for my HTML contains
getters, but no setters for elements I've defined in a form. For
example, to set the value for the first name on my form I need to do:

form.getElementFirstName().setValue("Matt");

This is no big deal, but I'm just curious why there isn't a
setElementFirstName(String s). I'm sure there's a good reason.

Which of the dozen tags should have methods generated for them? Value? Type?
Id? onmouse*()? All of them would be verry wasteful.

Furthermore, setElementFirstName woud take an Element, not a String.

See? I knew there was a reason.
