Adrian, Thanks for the post. I had the same exact problem as you did and that's why I came up with forceId. One of the programmers on my team made the observation that the EG must not use a lot of javascript because this is essential for webapps with a lot of javascript.
Unfortunately the standard components cannot be changed to include this functionality. This is because they would no longer be compliant with the spec. There are some changes to the upcoming spec that will attempt to deal with this. So you are stuck with the tomahawk components if you want this type of behavior. (Or apparently ADF is an option as well.)
