-------------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix
      Assignee: Howard M. Lewis Ship

Tapestry already has too many cases of two ways to do the same thing.  The current syntax is simple, its also flexible (you can easily switch between literals and dynamically calculated values).

> Currently adding attributes ends up with a bit lengthy parameter list, which isn't intuitive:
> writer.element("elementName","attr1","value1", "attr2", "value2")
> a nicer and shorter option could for instance be:
> writer.element("elementName","attr1:value1","attr2:value2")
> Of course this should not break existing var-args list and down-compatible (maybe by using unusual attribute name char like : or >). '>' is prohibited and ':'  afaik is only used for xml namespace declarations.
