Hi, TransparentWebMarkupContainer is a container which can be used when you don't want its children to know about it. For example you can use it to manipulate the attributes of <html> or <body> elements in a base page. This way the children pages can just do "add(someOtherComponent)" instead of "bodyComponent.add(someOtherComponent)".
