That's exactly what is targeted by the components with which I plan/hope to
use these annotations. There's nothing in JSF 1.x that precludes the use of
a template-based Renderer. All that Ken provides in JSFT is a Java-based
Renderer that processes a template, and all done compliant to the 1.2 spec.

Ken doesn't get a chance...
