Hi,
I like the idea of making that the default behavior. I think for
t:messages it should be save to do
so. As for h:messages I'm not sure how detailed the spec is there.
I'll better check that before
touching h:messages. I also don't know what mojarra does, but I would
guess that they do
the same thing as we do at the moment.
forceSpan would also work for me I guess. But if there it is ok to
ajust the default behavior
of t:messages I'd prefer that solution because its one parameter less
the user needs to
know and think about.
thanks for your ideas guys
Ernst
