Actually, that sort of thing is *precisely* what we designed the JSF2

The EG reasoning here is: if you can't write everything you need as a
composite component using markup+JavaScript only, depending only on the
HTML_BASIC component set as your base level of JSF UI component, then
composite components need some improvement.
Do you have information to suggest where we need to improve it that I
don't already know about?
