Re: [jsr-314-open] [jsf2next] might as well face it, Facelets is XML

(Remember, I'm not objecting to passing raw > HTML tags straight through, that is why Facelets is so successful. I'm > talking more about the document wrappers). no, I don't think so. Tapestry is built completely around this idea, so there is definitely people out there who think there is some value in this - not that I personally think it makes sense if you start using more sophisticated components. For the simple components, it has some merits for a fairly large user-base (which is not the JSF community).

That said, I would much rather have a nice IDE supported WYSIWYG feature that works for all the component sets than this preview support. In any case, disabling this is not necessary for what you have in mind - and I definitely support your suggestion. Just saying that we should still leave the other option open as well, and we will need to do it for backwards compatibility anyways.
