variants and styles work on component level...pages inherit that

Right, I think I understand how this works now (simpler than I thought!).
I find the Wiki page a bit short on info. I suggest to add some
explanatory introduction like:
------------------------------8<------------------------------
Each Wicket component has at least one associated markup (in the form of
an HTML file). It is possible to have multiple markup alternatives for
one component. These are called "variations", and have an HTML file with
a name like "ComponentName_foo.html". Which markup variation is used, is
determined by the getVariation() method of Component, i.e. if it returns
the string "foo", the HTML file "ComponentName_foo.html" is loaded
instead of "ComponentName.html".
Variations are inherited down the component hierarchy, and the default
is null, which means no variation (i.e. load "ComponentName.html"). Any
component can override the getVariation() method to change this behaviour.
If a markup variation with the name returned by getVariation() is not
found, Wicket will load the default markup for that component.
The example below shows how you can use a request parameter to load
different markup variations for a Page on the fly.
[and then the example which is already on the page]
------------------------------8<------------------------------
If this make sense I'll add it to the page. Or is this already
documented somewhere else?

Hello Wicketeers,
I read about markup variants on the wiki [1]. I need this, however I
need it on component level rather than page level. Is this possible?
In the most extreme case I would like to have different instances of the
same component on one page, but each with their own markup variant.
The workaround I use right now is extending my component with an empty
class for each variant.
Thanks
Niels
