Gili, I agree this discussion is going on for way to long now. However I don't agree with you that not being able to access the inner html elements of a wicket component is necessarily a bad thing.
Suppose I only build complex components for wicket (multiple input fields and or heavy scripting inside), then I should be able to decide if I want to make my components black box or completely open. And because I can choose between using (generated) id's or the wicket attribute I can do it both ways. In the documentation that comes with my component I can then inform the user which element is accessible by script and or which css classes he can use. Anyway that's how I see it.
