Sean,
I just committed a change to InputSuggestRenderer which MAY solve your 
problem. If it doesn't, it means that the id is being prepended to by 
something I don't understand. As it is, I don't see how colons are 
being generated by UIViewRoot.createUniqueId(), so this might just be 
a klundge until I understand things better.

Let me know if it works

OK,

Here is what I now know:

UIComponentBase uses NamingContainer.SEPARATOR_CHAR to build the id. I 
would like to propose changing

public interface NamingContainer
{
   public static final char SEPARATOR_CHAR = ':';
}

to

public interface NamingContainer
{
   public static final char SEPARATOR_CHAR = '_';
}

and removing all the

component.getClientId(context).replaceAll(":","_")

constructs scattered throughout the system.  Any objections ?
