oops - I updated the annotated code, so it's correct now.

This was removed because in about 50% of the scenarios where I use an ItemView, automatically re-rendering on change caused visual bugs. Specifically, with forms and editing models. If you use an ItemView to generate a form for editing the model, and then use some kind of model-binding to populate the model as the fields are changing, every change to any field re-renders the form and really screws things up.

For the display-only views, this is nice to have, but it can bee added to your apps' specific view by adding that bind (line 101 just below this comment) to the initialize method of your view
