Ah, I see. And adding the <name> attribute would break the schema
validation. So vendors will have to create a separate build to support JSF
2, which is annoying. However, they have to make a change either way -- it's
just that one is more work than the other. To me, this seems like something
we can handle in a maintenance release.
