Right, but in general that demonstrates how leaky this abstraction is. Again, I look forward to Max&#39;s response on this because really I&#39;m just getting this conversation started. He seems to have thought through all the ramifications quite extensively. I think the bigger issue is actually the CDATA, but it is really linked.<br>

I&#39;m sure this is already known by most of you, but a work-a-round is to wrap the outer-most content that you want sent to the browser in a &lt;ui:composition&gt; tag.  Not the cleanest solution, but it does the trick:<br>

<br>
&lt;?xml junk...&gt;<br>
<br>
..<br>
&lt;ui:composition&gt;<br>
   Real content here<br>
&lt;/ui:composition&gt;<br>
..<br>
<br>
+1 to making this configurable option.<br><font color="#888888">

Max (Oracle) brought up a critical point at JSF Summit (and earlier in private discussions). Facelets is passing through the XML declaration in a template to the browser. This is problematic for certain browsers, to the point that it can change the rendering behavior of the browser. There needs to be a way to suppress this. A stopgap solution is to introduce a context param. A more long term approach is to add an attribute to f:view that indicates whether the XML declaration should be sent to the client (you may want it for an atom feed for example).<br>

I&#39;ll let Andy chime in on Max&#39;s behalf for follow up, since he has some use cases he can cite and perhaps further suggestion.<br>
