[Progman]

Just read this.
That would be cool!

I do not know why I never thought of this until now (I suppose because even
though I have been using ASP.NET V2 since you announced in in 2003, I never
migrated a huge project until now); but here is a V3 feature suggestions:

MasterPages provides a powerful solution to site templating, and has
successfully replaced our previous custom solution. However there are times
when you also want the ability to template a user control. For example, you
have 5 user controls and you want them all to take on the same layout.
Ideally you have a MasterControl="UserControl.masterControl" attribute, and
then just use the same contentplaceholder and content controls.

Of course, you can try to simulate this with crazy hierarchies of
MasterPages.....but it just gets convolutes and ugly.

So *thanks* so much for MasterPages....and please consider this suggestion
for V3 as it makes certain scenarios easy, and should be simple for you to
implement!
