well, i thought chris' suggestion to use abstract and override in order to align it with the java keyword/annotation. I don't care whether it is implement or override (but yes, names are important). i think i'll go for implement though ... but if it finally becomes part of wicket, it will become extend/child anyway, wouldn't it? but let's see what i can do here first.
