Ganesh,

These are great suggestions. If I recall correctly, the RichFaces team has been lobbying for several of these features as well, so many of us are on the same page. I'm sure post holiday you should expect to get some good responses to this message.



If there are no objections I will open spec enhancement requests
for JSF 2.1 on the 4 parameters and 2 functional clarifications
described hereafter.

Thanks for offering to take action on these.

One small comment to keep in mind. We should select attribute names very carefully so that it's obvious to a beginning developer what functionality it is enabling. We want to make sure JSF 2 is as approachable as possible. While RichFaces 3.x has been very successful, I think one of its shortcomings is that the attribute names are sometimes difficult to understand. (Even those guys are working on better attribute names, based on feedback from the community).

-Dan
