 * Implemented by the object returned by {@link org.zkoss.zk.ui.sys.ComponentCtrl#getExtraCtrl},
 * if a component might have viewable parts other than HTML (WML, XAML
 * or any client language). A typical example is an image and an audio.
 *
 * <h3>How it woks:</h3>
 *
 * <ol>
 * <li>DynamicMedia componet first invoke {@link org.zkoss.zk.ui.Desktop#getDynamicMediaURI}
 * to retrieve a URI and generate proper HTML (or any client language).<li>
 * <li>Then, client will send a request to the URI</li>
 * <li> {@link org.zkoss.zk.au.http.DHtmlUpdateServlet} interprets it
 * and call {@link #getMedia} to retrieve the media and return it the client</li>
 * </ol>
