Hello everyone,

On my current project, I have a situation where I'd like to process input
from _every_ JSF input component on the page. There are a few different
ways I can do this, but what I really want is to be able to apply a global
converter, much like global validators. However, in order to do this, we
would have to have some sort of "converter chaining" mechanism so that
existing converters won't get clobbered. I could implement this by walking
through all of the EditableValueHolders in the view and adding a special
converter that can wrap an existing converter if necessary. However, this
is something that would work well at the spec level. Thoughts?
