Re: Re: Facelets 1.2

There's a couple of minor features I'd like to see in 1.1.x (ability
to specify generic attribute names explicitly in the taglib.xml and
ability to specify method binding signatures in the taglib.xml file),
but I haven't felt motivated enough yet to sit down and create a
patch.

1.1.11 is perfectly stable for my needs and I wouldn't be motivated to
upgrade at this point in time.
