Description

This is the opposite of https://github.com/Jasonette/documentation/issues/66

Currently if you want to dynamically update contents inside a web container, you have to re-render the whole view.

But the nice thing about web containers is it's a completely isolated environment from the outside world, so if we can simply send a message to the container it can update on its own without us re-rendering the entire view.

Start by reading the related issue #66 and clarify how the parent app should communicate with the isolated web container. Define the message and invocation behavior, then verify that a JavaScript function can update container contents without re-rendering the whole view.
