You might give Shale Clay a look too.  Clay is not nearly as popular 
as Facelets but has comparable features. Clay can be intermixed with 
view entry points meaning you can mix jsp/faces with Clay/html views. 

One feature that facelets doesn't have is meta data inheritance. 
It gives you the ability to define common component attributes 
that can be extend similar to tiles. The symbols are another 
unique Clay feature. Symbols are a reuse layer on top of 
expression language binding. Clay gives you a taste of visual 
OO development for the web.

However, you might argue that cut-and-paste is an 
exceptable level of reuse for a web interface.
