I'm building a solid set of components and functions and I can have custom namespace for functions and Facelet tags but I'm forced to use something like "http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite/components" for the composite components.

What about #{component}? This resolves to the currently processing
component. You can access the attributes map
with expressions such as #{component.attributes['attrName']}.

The namespace is configurable. For example, if you included the
following taglib.xml (schema information excluded) in your component jar:
<facelet-taglib>
<namespace>
http://domain.com/path</namespace>
<composite-library-name>compositeTest</composite-library-name>
</facelet-taglib>
then the compositeTest library would be mapped to
http://domain.com/path
(compositeTest is the same name
you'd use in the default composite component uri
http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite/compositeTest)
There are no plans to allow composite components to exist outside of
/resources or META-INF/resources
at this point in time. However, you can provide a custom
ResourceHandler implementation to find resources
in which ever directory you wish.
