I sort of agree that it does not really make sense for a component to have to add itself to a possible parent container. Also, the layout business would have much less overhead it did not have to be plugged at the component level.
Presumably, a good example where something close to functional would be needed would be things like ImageFilters. Swing components could also take advantage of it; I am sure I can imagine containers which actually do something weird to their children (e.g. a hyperbolic viewer, a color-change...).

In short, adding return-values to Script and Tag provides the same benefits
as having return values in normal functions and methods. As such, I
believe it would open up Jelly to a much broader variety of XML tasks, while providing opportunities to reduce the coupling and complexity of Tag
classes.
