This is an interesting point. The HTML401 spec does say that an ID attribute must start with ([A-Za-z])
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html#type-name
However UIViewRoot.UNIQUE_ID_PREFIX is specified as "_id" in the official Sun javadocs (ie the spec).
I guess the html renderkit should be transforming this "component id" into a valid html value, and transforming it back before the "decode" step. Does the renderkit get invoked before decode?
Martin, I presume you're saying that sun are really writing "_id" into the html output, like MyFaces does? If so there any reason why MyFaces would need to stay compatible with Sun here? I can't think of one..
Regards,
Simon

Hi Simon,
the RI is definitely rendering "_id". I have been questioning this
before, answer was there are versions of the HTML spec where the _ is
a valid starting character. I don't remember which versions this were
- XHTML?

Martin
