My point was that
<f:facet name="caption">
    <composite:renderFacet name="caption" />
</f:facet>
and
<composite:insertFacet name="caption" />
have to have exact same functionality ( although they may not do it now 
) that will make 'insrtFacet' unnecessary duplicate.
But, at least, I agree that limitation that requires to have composite 
facet name the same as target should be resolved, not only to have 
ability to insert facet into different components but also to allow 
component developer give more informative names for facets ( for 
example, something like "userDescription" or "errorMessages" instead of 
"caption" for some special components ).
