Re: GoLinkRenderer calls writeURIAttribute to render name and id, why?

[Adam Winer]

The value of the attribute on "name" on GoLink will end up mapping
up to "href" on some other link.  So it really is a URI.
E.g., you need to use % encoding, not & encoding.
And "id" must equal "name".

In GoLinkRenderer class, there is the following method:

  @Override
  protected void renderId(
    FacesContext context,
    UIComponent  component) throws IOException
  {
    if (shouldRenderId(context, component))
    {
      String clientId = getClientId(context, component);
      // For links, these are actually URI attributes
      context.getResponseWriter().writeURIAttribute("id", clientId, "id");
      context.getResponseWriter().writeURIAttribute("name", clientId, "id");
    }
  }

Why are id and name rendered as URI? Are the id and name used as URI in
javascript logic? I saw some similar code in several other classes too.

Thanks.
