It would be good to provide a single authoritative source of information.
If you want to easily support other view handlers, you may need to
generate some configuration files for them.
For example, facelets needs configuration information in this format:
<tag>
<tag-name>aliasBean</tag-name>
<component>
<component-type>org.apache.myfaces.AliasBean</component-type>
<renderer-type>org.apache.myfaces.AliasBean</renderer-type>
</component>
</tag>
I also think that most of the component documentation could have
easily been generated from the xml file using your template instead of
having individuals go through and manually type in all of that
information.
