Apparently you didn't test it carefully. The won't render anything if you don't specify attributes which should end up in the client side, like layout, id, styleClass, etc.

Thus, this should technically perfectly work fine.

However, better for the main purpose would be to use .

This is by the way also possible with , but this is deprecated since JSF 2.0 as it's designed specifically for usage in JSP.
