Re: Why do h:message Tags Need to be enclosed in h:panelGroup or h:panelGrid Tags

Mike and Gert,

I've modified MYFACES-993 -- t:div, t:span, s:fieldset should render
children -- to handle this issue as it's directly related to t:div
rendering its children.  I didn't see another issue opened on this
topic yet.

This would be a good place to attach patches to fix this issue.
