Cool. You should check out the shale tiger extention. You can register
a component like this:
@FacesComponent ("org.apache.shale.SomeComponent")
class public SomeComponent ....
No, XML config.
The whole JSF component is much cleaner that JSP tags. I think
all of the pieces/layers are good but it's nice to be able to create
a component without a JSP tag and Renderer.

I was only thinking in terms of *no extra* XML config but the best way would be
to handle the radio something like this:
HTML:
<input type=radio jsfid="businessState">
XML Config:
<component jsfid="businessState" extends="selectOneRadio" id="businessState"
allowBody="false">
<attributes>
<set name="value" value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" />
<set name="required" value="true" />
</attributes>
<element renderId="0" jsfid="selectItems">
<attributes>
<set name="value" value="#{rolodexDao.states}" />
</attributes>
</element>
</component>

I'll try a couple more options but the XML backing is the best here since there
is not a good HTML to XML mapping.

I'm not sure about this one. Maybe thru CSS?
