So if MyFaces were to continue to generate this guaranteed unique id by default it would still be observing the spec right? This would just give the user the option to specify their own id if they didn't care or wanted to handle the uniqueness themselves. I am right here? Also, styleId would be more familiar to Struts users although personally I always found the use of the name confusing. sean
