Great feedback. I guess this highlights the problem with the name  
Functional Examples. We're talking here about chunks of simple HTML  
and JavaScript code used to get developers up and running with  
Infusion. They're designed to be looked at, dissected, and used as a  
starting point for your own development. As such, they make for less  
compelling examples of our functionality, since they're stripped down  
to show key concepts.

Given this description, is this what you were expecting a Functional  
Example to provide you with? If not, any suggestions for alternative  
names?
