 ====Call Order for Initialization Code====
+* On opening the preferences dialog, the prefwindow binding gets attached to the <prefwindow> element. The toolkit base binding's constructor is executed and dispatches 'paneload' events to any static <prefpane>s.
+* On changing the panel selection, either by code or tree selection, a 'paneload' event is only dispatched to the new <prefpane> if it hasn't been initialized yet.
+* These 'paneload' events are processed in the following order:
+** SM's derived <prefpane> 'paneload' handler is called, evaluating the <prefpane>'s 'script' attribute. If defined, the <prefpane>'s Startup() function is called, so that <preference> elements can be created dynamically.<br><i style="color:red">Mind that <preference>s are '''not''' initialized yet!</i>
+** Toolkit's <prefpane> 'paneload' handler is called and initializes the <preference> elements, evaluating any 'onsyncfrompreference' handler attributes on elements tied to a <preference>.
+** SM's <prefwindow> 'paneload' handler is called, synchronizing <tree> and <prefpane<.
+** Finally, any <prefpane> 'onpaneload' handler attribute is evaluated.
