Hi,
I vote either:
[X] Keep <wicket:component>, but define its limits, document it on the wiki
as fully supported and commit to supporting it in the future
or
[X] Delete this unimportant and generally unsupported feature
with the amendment that the case below is supported in some other way
Like Timo I am using it in a number of places to keep my XHTML valid.
For example:
<table>
<wicket:component wicket:id="persons">
<tr><td>Row 1 of person data</td></tr>
<tr><td>Row 2 of person data</td></tr>
</wicket:component>
</table>
I do not know how to write this in valid XHTML without wicket:component.
Regards,
Erik.
