I think this would be a good idea in a limited form ( ie strings only, not scriptlets ).
Ive noticed over time our tapestry page templates became more and more convoluted with these types of scriptlets because it is more convinient for developers to stick small pieces of code right into the page template (its amazing how much you can pack into an ognl expression). One strong point of wicket is that it separates presentation from logic. Another problem with this is that pretty soon you find yourself needing something like spindle to work efficiently with your components.
