[Dojo-interest] container widget name changes (pane vs. container vs. nothing)

[Bill Keese]

Hi Yi.  Added a blog entry earlier but I just fixed the category (as you 
mentioned).

http://blog.dojotoolkit.org/2006/04/09/pane-container

This won't be changed back.

You are that the most disruptive part is the class name changes, but 
they were unavoidable, I thought.

Thanks,
Bill
