Thanks Jason... yes this is for 1.2 JSF components.  JSF 2.0 may look much different with much better support (I hope).

I know that JSF 2.0 may include support for template renderers. I'm not
against setting up a sandbox (maybe a branch) where developers can
experiment with early releases of JSF 2.0. But at this stage, unless the
product of the annotation processor can be consumed by a JSF
1.2-conforming app, I don't think such changes belong in the trunk.

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. 

I'll let him respond to Rick's questions, though I can try to answer them if Ken doesn't get a chance...
