Should MyFaces start a new taglib section for visual effects with use a taglib prefix of "e:" (or "d" for "dhtml effects")? That way, the base tags stay simple, the extensions extend tag functionality while remaining simple yet functional, the visual effects become optional whiz-bang web browser features, and any ajax-communicating components fill in a 4th library for those interested in components of that nature.
Any opinions on this proposal?

So it is better to call the whole thing ajax instead of dhtml whatever.
