uh, my bad.
i removed that a while ago when i was trying to shrink down the examples home page a bit... ;-)

Ooops, I didn't see the existing encoding example as it has disappeared from the index page of the examples!
Shouldn't the examples index page include all of the examples?
Shall I rollback my changes?
One question that this does raise is "What version of the Servlet specification are we targeting for Wicket?"
If we are only targeting v2.4 then I think the existing approach is fine because it allows 2.3 support with a bit of effort. If we are also targeting Wicket as supporting Servlet 2.3 and 2.4 then shouldn't the existing encoding stuff be in the Wicket core and not the contrib project?
Sorry for the confusion!
