This would solve my use case but sounds like a lot of architecture, to be
honest. I think this is exactly what I hoped to avoid by pinning the
internal communication between pagelets and pagelet renderers down to
talking IContentProvider and thereby allowing pagelets to be used as
content providers from everywhere. See the "dead chicken" remark in my
first reply to you.
