Under JSF 1.2 and Facelets, you could specify a ui:param value as a child
of ui:decorate, and it would be used in any included files.
Under JSF 2.1, the ui:param value evaluates to null in the included files
unless it is passed as a child of the ui:include.
Is this a bug or a spec-required change in behavior?
