I can't just go and replace all components in the project when upgrading to the newest version, there are like hundreds of Zone or EventLink components in our project. I'm doing exactly what you are suggesting, I'm adding data attributes to the existing components, like instead of t:zone I will use data-zone in the new code, but in my mind the best solution would be to replace the code inside the EventLink. I'm just trying to come up with the solution to keep things working. > That becomes a key question: we would not need the core/spi layer if > we just said "Tapestry uses jQuery, live with it".

I don't have a solution here, it is why I decided to rewrite whole Tapestry javascript to pure jQuery. I know it wouldn't be fair to just replace everything and switch to another framework. In your point of view you see an abstraction on the client side, let's have some base code and share it between prototype and query specific modules, but in my case I want an abstraction at the components layers, so I can just replace whole client implementation. I'm not exactly trying to add more abstraction from my point of view.
