Improve code override

[makroxyz]

Hi,
I need to change html for my growl.
I override protected method initOptions.

Problem:
$this->_settings is private so if I override initOptions I need to declare it in my class
I also need to redeclare protected function registerAssets() since it uses $this->_settings too

Why don't declare a protected method only for html generation?

Thanks in advance
