Hi Blake, Actually it's harsher/simpler than that. Assuming that .getAttributes() is very rarely used in a Trinidad application (exception for custom attributes).
1. Have AttributeMap work exactly like standard JSF's AttributeMap. That is, always call the getter/setter on the component (which in turn will use the FacesBean if needed). For custom properties, they could either be stored in the FacesBean or on the component itself 2. Handle the id attribute manually for state saving purposes in UIXComponentBase Point 1. does impact performances vs. direct FacesBean access when accessing defined properties, but all Trinidad applications most likely directly use FacesBean.getProperty(PropertyKey) directly, like all our renderer do. For custom properties, there's absolutely no hit.
