It's certainly a personal preference, but I think more than anything else,
this exemplifies the flexibility you get when you treat the template as
HTML. Basically, HTML doesn't have to be the top dog ;) And it depends on
how much HTML you are going to use. Some composite components may not use
HTML at all, but rather pure JSF component tags.
