dojox.app needs to allow scenes to be rendered inside container widgets.

[mikerobi]

It appears that dojox.app only supports full screen scene rendering. You should be able to place the scene within a Dojo container widget, or any dom node.

Fore example:

I have an app that uses a border container to separate the navigation menu from the page content. When the user click on an entry in the navigation widget I manually switch the contents of the other panel.

I believe this is something that should be within the scope of dojox.app.

This is similar #14382, but I believe that that only deals with layout within a scene, and not scene placement.

in dojox.app 1.8, provide dojox.app.widgets.Container to do container widgets layout.
See layoutApp in the tests folder.

mikerobi, this seems that the new architecture in 1.8 should solve this. Let us know if it does not. Thanks.
