Sorry, I meant appending, not prepending. As far as not allowing turning off all parent NamingContainer prependings, I'm not sure that the disambiguation from <f:subview> is acceptable, especially in cases where you are developing a large application using Tiles.
In our case, we have our pages nested inside multiple subviews that wrap various abstractions needed by different pages. However, the content dropped into those Tiles needn't ever change. If there is no way to obliterate all prepended ids, it makes it nearly impossible to develop code inside a page that has no knowledge of its parent subview structure.
