This is excellent, and perfect timing for me.  I have been adding some
debugging information to the TT plugin that allows you to view all of
the parameters that were sent to the template in a popup.  This means
that there is a framework for me to work with so it simplifies things
greatly.

I will most likely add support directly into the TT plugin, and if it
sees that the DevPopup plugin is loaded, it will automatically add its
debugging info in.

I haven't looked at the code itself, but the concept sounds very useful...

Cheers,

Cees
