I don't understand what does it matter if the bindings are temporary, or
basic established bindings. In both cases the DT data needs to be
changed when the CDF is taken into use.

Well, one difference is that the temporary bindings would give us
working display, but having only basic bindings would not. So I don't
see any reason to add only the basic bindings. Or how would it work?
