This simplifies things, but how does this deal with the situation where 
the parent is trying to extract boxes from its children, a la:

<scrollpane>
	<table/>
</scrollpane>

Where you want to get the table headers into the single-axis slaves of 
the scrollpane?

Are you saying you could have a children variable set in the child, and 
the parent could read it? This would definitely cut down the variable 
count, and if we're careful with the naming of entries in children, can 
be compatible across the widget library.

Sounds like more pros than cons. I'm up for it.
