Yes but Telescope does it for you...

Hmm...
right now I have one burning question:
Why build a completely new layer of indirection with different API instead
of improving and extending Roassal (=Telescope alongside Roassal instead of
on top of it)? It seems like a lot of effort went into creating it while it
would have had bigger and better impact in Roassal...
Because we created Telescope when we had to move from Roassal to Roassal2
and at this time Roassal2 was not supporting a Mondrian like syntax so we
tried to create an equivalent powerful syntax than Mondrian with an object
oriented approach
So, how do you tell builder that you want to color or add interaction to a

Plus
the
"if node matches this add/change/do this" that is also implemented by
Telescope.
Moreover, the model takes care of updating only
the concerned nodes and

if some particular builder does rerender everything,
that's the builder's problem.) After all this is transitive --- if
Telescope can do partial changes and is on top of Roassal, so can Roassal
do it...
The paper is not the best way to see what
Telescope is able to.

Anyway, I'll continue my exploration... but the idea that I might need
interaction between Telescope and Roassal elements and concepts doesn't
make me happy...
