Description Cameron Bateman CLA 2007-08-17 20:21:50 EDT 
The for attribute on the h:message must match the id of the tag (component) that the message is tied to.  Having a wrong or missing id can cause hard-to-debug problems on some rt's.

1) The validator should check at a minimum that the id is not empty.  Better would be that it matches against a valid id in the document and provides the same wizard as 2) on a quick fix.

2) The item creation should prompt the user with a list of existing ids to set (or perhaps a list of components and create a new id on one if it doesn't have one).

Ditto outputLabel and other tags that for attributes.

Deferred due to lack of resources. Contributions from the community would be welcomed.
