Woven widgets don't have anything to do with the display of the final 
html; they just manipulate the DOM. microdom is wholly responsible for 
turning this tree of objects into a string of characters.

However, this doesn't mean microdom can't do the same thing -- put 
inline HTML elements inline. Thanks for the idea, I'll implement it 
asap!
