It's whatever getFamily() or getRendererType() return. At least,
that's the default value. The faces-config file should have the
authoritative value, though.
In UIMessages, there are the following constants, so these are
probably the default values.
public static final String COMPONENT_TYPE = "javax.faces.Messages";
public static final String COMPONENT_FAMILY = "javax.faces.Messages";
private static final String DEFAULT_RENDERER_TYPE = "javax.faces.Messages";
