Design Notes

• Use template snippets to build extension files
  • Templates should be in locale since they are localizable
• Code to build files should be separate JS script, not dependent on UI part.
  • We could use the code in other tools
• Any control (feature) that is not valid based on target should be disabled, not hidden.
