Yeah!

One thing to keep in mind with the default namespace is that if you want to
use HTML, you would have to prefix it in the case above (which might be
strange to some people):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<component xmlns="jsf:cc" xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
   <interface>
      <attribute name="name" required="true"/>
   </interface>
   <implementation>
      Hello, <html:strong>#{cc.attr.name}</html:strong>
   </implementation>
</component>

-Dan

p.s. Isn't it strange every time you see 1999/xhtml? ;)
