Wicket Philosophy/Best Practice

[Brown, Berlin [GCG-PFS]]

I tell people that I think you should let your Model and Model backing
object control the look and feel/display/content of your components.
Even visibility should be delegated to the model or model object and not
set by the component.   Am I wrong here?  
 
I use this approach (only work with the Model/ModelObject) as opposed to
monkeying with the wicket internal(seemingly) methods like
onComponentTag or adding javascript to control the look feel or tags?
 
 
E.g.
 
MyComponent {
  isVisible() {
    getModelObject().isVisible();
  }
 isEnabled() { 
    getModelObject().isEnabled();
  }
}
