Re: Lazy authoring

My understanding is that this is done per model. So for a given model, we
either initially:

1. have at least one instance
2. or do not have any instance

If #2, then lazy authoring is enabled for that model.

Now my understanding is that if lazy authoring is enabled for a model:

1. This only handles a single instance automatically ("a default instance
is created").
2. You can only specify things like `ref="foo"` as control bindings ("An
instance data element node is created using the binding expression from the
user interface control as the name").

So you cannot use the `instance()` function in the binding anyway. That
would cause a binding error.

So it is very limited but simple.
