you are absolutely right, would be nice to have a fully validated renderkit.
If you look into your faces-config.xml (the one which is delivered
with MyFaces), you will find a render-kit node which looks something
like the following:
<!-- MyFaces Renderkit Extensions -->
<render-kit>
<render-kit-id>HTML_BASIC</render-kit-id>
<!-- extended standard renderers -->
<renderer>
<component-family>javax.faces.Command</component-family>
<renderer-type>org.apache.myfaces.Button</renderer-type>
<renderer-class>org.apache.myfaces.renderkit.html.ext.HtmlButtonRenderer</renderer-class>
</renderer>
<renderer>
<component-family>javax.faces.Command</component-family>
<renderer-type>org.apache.myfaces.Link</renderer-type>
<renderer-class>org.apache.myfaces.renderkit.html.ext.HtmlLinkRenderer</renderer-class>
</renderer>
.....
What you do know is copy this render-kit node to a separate location
in your personal (or if you donate it back to MyFaces, to the MyFaces
one) faces-config.xml.
First change the renderkit to something like HTML_401 or whatever you want.
Next change all the renderer-class entries to the classes you implemented.
Done - all you have to do now is to reset your renderkit id in the
application section of the faces-config, something like that:
...
<application>
<default-render-kit-id>HTML_401</default-render-kit-id>
</application
...
