I think Melonie's comments are valid. The HTML emelemt attribute control mappings in the display tags are incomplete for the HTML elements they produce. For example one is unable to set the style id, title, tabindex for a specific table. Same thing for the header/normal <tr> row and <td> cell.
Also the RowEven RowOdd is too weak as a set of decorators. Having access to a iteration object ala JSTL status would allow for more complex row decoration, eg, SubTotals etc...
