[Laszlo-dev] Changing lzt=html to lzt=wrapper?

[John Sundman]

I don't mind changing the docs because this is an area that is very  
confusing and hard to explain and in need of an overhaul anyway.

Some of this information is in the Deployer's Guide and some of it is  
scattered throughout the Developer's Guide, and there is much stale  
information  (for example lzt=history) that I have bugs against  
anyway.  Since I'm going to have to change it, I would rather change  
it to something logical.

That does not address Henry's point about the code, however.
