We were discussing this offline a bit. I made that point the &lt;f:*&gt; tags and the major UIComponent types (which Alex already mentioned) may belong in the core spec and the &lt;h:*&gt; tags, plus any layout sets we add, would belong in the component spec. Seems reasonable to me. Given how big the JSF spec is, it might be easier to manage if it was in two (or more) parts.<br>

That extended set of components recall me an idea that had discussed before JSF 2.0 started: divide JSF API part from components. JSF api library itself contains about one half of implementation in components code, that is unusual amid most Java specifications.<br>

I think that the only base functions, like command, input, select should be defined in API.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>

Andy had mentioned that there was interest in adding a few components for JSF 2.next.  And our audience mentioned that as well.<br>
<br>
I thought it would be an interesting exercise to try to gather up a list of what kinds of components already existed as either existing JSF or JavaScript widgets, and I went a little overboard - but hopefully you&#39;ll find it useful as something to stimulate thought on the topic.<br>
