I agree that this discussion helped to clarify some things, but I'm a quite worried by the time and efforts it takes to agree on such a small feature.
I don't underestimate the necessity of having a well thought API, but as all of you, my time is spare, and I disagree that there is no harm in a prolonged discussion.
If it's just too much effort to decide such issues, I should better do a hack on my own, and forget about including it in Myfaces.
Please don't take this as an offense, it's just a general worry that this would afraid others like me of contributing anything else than bug fixes.
I also dislike this voting process, but it is an attempt to keep this in a reasonable time frame, so please try to make your mind, but don't ask for another week of emails & extensive explanations.
As for the summary of the options, I agree with the one Martin just did (thanks for your help by the way).
Sylvain.

If memory serves me, we have only been discussing this for a week or so. I think we should consider postponing the vote and taking a little more time with this. My reasoning is that this solves a problem that many of us (including myself) need to have solved. Lets pick an approach that we can all live with. On the other hand, we owe it to Sylvain to not drag this out. Lets try to resolve this quickly but also give it the consideration it deserves. Also, the answer to this problem involves several "design principles" that we should probably agree upon. For instance, concern over bloated attributes, mutating components, etc. I need some time to re-read this very extensive thread. Maybe Sylvain or Kalle can summarize the options for us (Option #1, #2, etc.) People can add new options (give them a new number) and we can have a quick discussion and reference these options by # and discuss pros and cons. > Kalle sean
