Hi 1. Yes, Shale does not depend on Clay in any way - Actually it is almost true the other way around too, bar some Shale utility function that is uses. 2. One of the greatest advantages is that Clay supports the OO paradigm with inheritance, where Facelets only supports composition.
You seem to have some misconception here. Shale is a framework on top of ANY JSF implementation, much like Struts is a framework on top of JSP/Servlets. Clay works just as well with MyFaces as it does with Sun's JSF reference implementation I have tested and used both, and finally landed on Clay due to 2.

In particular I was wondering: 1. Is shale *completely* separated from clay so that using facelets instead of clay does not break anything? 2. Has clay got any advantages over facelets when used with shale because clay was built for shale whereas facelets is meant for any JSF platform?
