[Laszlo-dev] proposal to add "enabled' flag to LzInputText

[Henry Minsky]

Yes I think that would make sense, given that they now share the same
underlying Flash object (a TextField).

We still need to come up with a consistent HTML escaping convention
for literal text in LZX source files. The question is what Javascript
gets compiled from a source element

<text>&lt;foo&gt;</text>

The question is what do we do if inputtext is behaving differently
than non-input text, because we have the 'html' flag set differently.
We want HTML enabled  by default on the text fields (and there should
be a way to toggle that ), but we currently have HTML disabled by
default on input text fields, for performance reasons, and for
backwards compatibility.
