Sean, I don't remember anyone making such a promise. What I know was said (when you started diving in to the implementation of the table component, I'm guessing after decompiling some of our source) was that we had a large base of rendering code built as an adapter layer around an old framework (UIX), and that this was going to be rewritten to go directly to JSF APIs. A large amount of that has happened, incl. the table. (BTW, w/o having looked at the Tobago code - our custom ViewHandler is an adapter only; we're still using ordinary JSPs - and Facelets - for our rendering. I don't see that specifically as being of great concern.) -- Adam
