As long as you are using WOnder's WOOgnl, you can mix both styles. In
fact, IIRC, Mike Schrag mentioned in the past that he tends to use
inline style when there are just a few, perhaps 3 or less bindings,
since it gets unwieldy and difficult to read with a lot of bindings.
For lots of bindings, the WOD entry is definitely easier to work with.
I find that mixing the styles and using whichever feels more natural
for the specific WOComponent that you are binding up works well.
For example, I usually use inline style for simple items like
WOString, WOForm, WOConditional, etc, but for an ERXToManyRelationship
or some of the versatile Ajax components that have a lot of binding
options, I find the WOD is easier to work with.
Also WOD is useful if you have something like a RolePrivilege type
conditional with maybe one or two bindings that is used repeatedly in
the HTML and need only be defined once in the WOD.
Just my 2 cents :-)
