Yeah, I have a few new Clay ideas but all are JSF 1.2ish.
   * Refactor clay config beans with interfaces and impl.  Way back I started 
looking at using JPA entity beans to define clay configs.  My hope was to make 
the entity beans implement common interfaces making them config beans.
   * Custom EL function support.
   * Defining template config using annotations.

I sorta lost momentum with the popularity of facelets and JSF 2.0 planning.  I 
think the last Clay feature that I added was metadata to represent the java 
final modifier [1].

The template "inheritance", symbols and pre-htmlx support are really the only 
unique features over the others (facelets & JSF templating) and they are now 
the de facto standard.
