Yes, but why pollute the page unnecessarily with an empty outputText? If I approach the subject from a maintainability perspective, I think its more intuitive for the documentation to state why the icon is gone then to have to figure out why some developer stuck an empty outputText into a facet.
I've been watching this thread, so I hope you don't mind my 2 cents....

It's easy enough to write: <tr:statusIndicator> <f:facet name="busy">Loading...</f:facet> <f:facet name="ready"><tr:outputText/></f:facet> </tr:statusIndicator> ... which would have the same effect. So I could really go either way. -- Adam On 9/19/07, Adam Winer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I see what you're saying...
