Carlin--

 Right -- you're talking about scoping in the page rather than
scoping a request, though I'm still not sure I'm clear on the use of
the tag.

 Is the goal to have a NetUI tag that renders a <div> which is
registered with the rendered tagId / id mapping JavaScript?  Something
like:

 <netui:div tagId="foo">
   ....
 </netui:div>

that renders:

 <div id="foo">...</div>

along with the JavaScript to map the rendered <div> into the
netui_names / netui_tagIdNameMap.

Eddie,

The <netui:rewriteName> tag is designed to participate in URL
rewriting. Say in a portal, the URL rewriting is for the scoping a
request to a portlet and just prepends the portlet scope to a name.
This request scoping is different than the scoping generated with the
NetUI tag and JavaScript support within <netui:scriptContainer
generateIdScope="true">. The tags generate a map in a page for the
tagId attributes of NetUI tags and can scope them to the
scriptContainer tag... but it's a different scoping.

The <netui:divPanel> tag is used as a dynamic client side routine for
switching between different template sections within the panel. At
first I thought this could be used but the generated id on the
rendered div tags doesn't seem to work for this case. I just tried a
simple test. There may be a way to get this to go but still does not
feel very intuitive as it involves using <netui-template:section>,
etc.
