Hmmm, worth watching out for, thanks. But in this case the client side can
remain the same.

No, it isn't. It's just that I don't see
(1)    button "Label" {
        block
    }
as that much better than
(s)    button {
        label "Label"
        on_click { block }
    }

No need for any with_binding in this. My thought was only use that when you
have some binding you want to apply in many places through a complex block,
and then do it uniformly using with_binding.

Is the bigger question though: how to best scale with no (or minimal) change
to incorporate all the wonderful widgets that might exist?
