Conceptually, one might have multiple different widgets wanting the
editable span functionality which cannot easily share a base class, and
also since I'm told Athena does very little client-side DOM work, to
separate out the athena-specific code from the client-side DOM code.
But it would have worked just as well on the widget.
Third reason - VIMs syntax highlighting fails for encapsulated functions
but works for bare ones :o)
