+1 - This is essential and shouldn't be very difficult, IMHO (without
looking at the code).  A few unit tests should verify this behavior.
I might even submit the patch myself.

I don't know about this.  In my IDE (IntelliJ IDEA), if I move the
HTML template, the links in my other pages automatically get updated.
So, this is a non-issue for me.  Also, pages could be named the same
thing in multiple packages.  For instance, suppose you have a project
with multiple "modules" (customers, inventory, accounts, etc.).  Each
"module" could have its own HomePage.

+1 - but it should at least be in the Wiki, though.  I remember
getting frustrated when seeing replies on the Tapestry lists that said
"Buy Kent Tong's book."  Don't get me wrong, his book was/is good, but
having to pay for documentation for an Apache project just seems wrong
to me.
