The Design and Implementation of laffer1

I've been using the new Grid in Dojo 1.2 for a project.  I've come across some missing features that I feel are a requirement for a Grid.  First, the component doesn't seem to have a way to handle multiline data such as that in a textarea.  I need this for a project.  Dojo also doesn't document the expected input to the grid components.  So when developing JSON output, you have to either write a lot of custom formatters which require research or try to figure out what it's expecting. 

To a certain extend, it should make your life easier and be adaptive not the other way around. At the very least, they could document it properly.  I did find this

Many components are missing from that that i see in 1.2.3 dojo's files.
