Re: Seeking Review: 50 - Supporting Multiple RenderKits

With Roger's changes, I would suggest removing the bit about carrying
the previous renderkitId to the new UIViewRoot within
ViewHandler.createView(FacesContext,String).

We aren't always guaranteed to have a previous UIViewRoot when
createView is called, so we have logic that works 'sometimes'. I could
see making a case for carrying the locale, but a renderkitId is
something that will be declared at the application layer and to have
'exceptions' of renderKitIds 'sometimes' carry back into other parts of
the application is probably not the right choice.
