The composite PDL currently has an exmaple component, which takes up

rather large amount of space, and, I feel, doesn't really give a lot of

At the same time, important information like the specialness of the values
"action", "actionListener", "validator", and
"valueChangeListener" are buried in the name attribute of the
composite:attribute page.
I think we might be better served by removing the example (or else, using a
much smaller and simpler example), and including information like the
special names in that freed space.
What do you guys think? Am I off base?
I've filed the following spec issue 572 to track this:

+1. Make it simpler. After all, we are trying to demonstrate just how simple
the easy component creation is, and frankly this example doesn't convince me
(though I do certainly appreciate what it is trying to show).
