I don't think it's in the FAQ yet, but it should be.
IMHO, the HTML mapping only becomes practical in these situations:
1. Your objects need to be customized, but you don't want to release
source code.
2. Your objects need to be displayed in multiple languages using the
same set of WebSpeed agents.
3. You have a favorite automated tool or methodology that uses
html-mapping.
Perhaps others can think of more reasons, but that's all I can think of
right now. Generally, HTML-mapped objects are big, and slow, and
difficult for the beginning web programmer to understand. Maintenance
is a big pain in the butt, no matter how much experience you have, and
development REQUIRES the workshop or appbuilder. To make matters worse,
it's a common occurence to get your mapped objects "hosed" by the editor
for no reason at all.
