[jsr-314-open] Wrapping Text with a tag - what's the correct behavior?

I think that if a value is provided, then the children should not be
rendered. In effect, the value attribute is the content override. So the
correct output should be:

<span id="foo">value</span>

I don't think Ajax should be a special case, this is a general problem with
how the template is interpreted.

I also feel that we should spec this because it is senseless to have both a
value attribute and nested text. Am I missing a case when both would be
needed for some other standard output tag?
