I don't know if this was discussed @ all but I have been trying to use
the
method of hiding _variables (in other words properties from users using
a "_"
prefix to mean something Im using internally) and I started playing
around with
_random as in:

id       _random
212    5

To work directly with the <random> tag so that a user can be able to
create an
"ordered" list so that in something like:

<random type="normal(default)|ordered">
<li>one</li>
<li>two</li>
<li>three</li>
</random>

Based on what _random was per the user the list would act as always
revolving.
Does this make sense?  I could not find a way to accomplish this
otherwise.
