Since there are a lot of questions on these mailing lists about the JSTL tags and how they effect JSF pages, I decided to blog about it to hopefully clear some things up.
Here is the first version: http://andrewfacelets.blogspot.com/2008/03/build-time-vs-render-time.html I may add some more content about how a view is restored later, but I wanted to get how the view is built out first. Hope it is helpful, Andrew
