Well, mostly. The HTML should probably not end up in kupupopups if you 
want to create a drawer, since those (drawers) use HTML from the main 
page rather than a seperate HTML document like the popups.

I'm not sure whether writing a drawer is the best choice, btw, perhaps 
it's the nicest ui-wise, but it's a bit more involved than writing a 
popup. If you'd do that instead, it would basically be a matter of 
creating the popup HTML in 'kupupopups', adjusting 'kupuploneinit.js' so 
it registers a button that opens your popup and that's it. (As long as 
you don't care about distribution and upgrading issues, if you do then 
the whole XSL thing described in my last mail comes into play).

Cheers,
