This is out of the top of my head (can't check the code now as I'm at 
work), but I think we're lacking a notification about a changed attribute.

When you call methods through the display files the elements are wrapped 
to make sure that input is valid and that the screen is updated after 
changes.

When you do the same through the core, you just end up changing a value. 
This won't affect the display until it is refreshed.

One solution would be to give containers a method like 
setAttribute(attrName, value) that does the change of value and 
refreshes the view.

Any other ideas, anyone?

Cheers,
Lauri
