Currently everybody assumes (correctly) that the element is completely

This means that scripts that iterate through the dom, or check for the
document.getElementById() == null will fail if we implement this.
then you'll have to check for document.getElementById().style.display ==
"none"
it's a bit longer to write, but it is semantically better. Indeed it
checks a component *visibility*, and not its existence.
When I do setVisible(false), I expect setVisible(true) to work if called
later, in ajax or not. Currently, it doesn't work in Ajax. Don't you
think it is a real bug?
If yes, I don't think breaking such scripts should be used as a pretext
not to fix bugs ;-)
