Re: Useful feature?

You could add your simple example using the same postprocessing
functionality that YouTube is done with. Take a look at
/farcry/core/packages/lib/postprocess.cfc to see how it's done.

Fully functional containers would be much more elaborate - not just to
implement, but for users to manage. You could probably do something like it
by using a postprocess function to insert preexisting containers.
