I agree, from "studying" point of view custom UMOs are useless(otherwise
it would mean that our current UU's design is not sufficient).
However if, for example, Author wants to present on UI some additional
info about him/'his UMO' like links to other educational sourses, banners,
etc.. the custom UMO functionality may become useful. Imho UU should have
some optional features like that for the customization purpose.
