Please excuse the fact that this message is not directly spec related atm, but I wanted to share with you a usage of SystemEvents and the metadata facet.

I have implemented the view action proposal that we had implemented around the time we introduced view parameters. I did so using a PreRenderViewEvent listener and a custom component, <s:viewAction>, which is defined in the <f:metadata> facet. I'm hoping that this combination with make it into JSF 2.1 (or even the MR if that is possible).
