Okay, so top-down will work out nicely, then, and the
widgets only need to deal with the attributes that are
theirs.  Even if a widget wanted to do something
different with one of its super-classes' attributes,
there's nothing stopping the user from making another
tag, or just programmatically changing whatever
parameters in its own parseXMLAttributes...  I mean,
who knows what goofy stuff the user will want to do
with his own widgets :)
