I do remember some discussion of providing component system events for 
events that are currently handled via FacesEvents (valueChange, action), 
but I guess we never reached a resolution on this.  If we were to add 
such system events, are you thinking that these should replace the 
existing FacesEvents (ValueChangeEvent, ActionEvent)?  Or would the new 
system events simply complement the corresponding FacesEvents?
