[jsr-314-open] [xmldecl-696] suppressing XML declaration for MR1

[Dan Allen]

Max (Oracle) brought up a critical point at JSF Summit (and earlier in
private discussions). Facelets is passing through the XML declaration in a
template to the browser. This is problematic for certain browsers, to the
point that it can change the rendering behavior of the browser. There needs
to be a way to suppress this. A stopgap solution is to introduce a context
param. A more long term approach is to add an attribute to f:view that
indicates whether the XML declaration should be sent to the client (you may
want it for an atom feed for example).

I'll let Andy chime in on Max's behalf for follow up, since he has some use
cases he can cite and perhaps further suggestion.
