RE: [jira] Commented: (TAPESTRY-336) Change default binding of "t ag" parameter in Submit component to "literal"

You know, I think I'm the one that indicated I use a prefix everywhere, and
I happen to also use this. in front of all instance variables, so I guess
your thesis is holding in one case. Of course then there's putting an _ in
front of a instance variables, but we digress into holy wars... :)

In many cases, the default-binding should not be specified; that way
it will indicate a literal in templates and an OGNL expression in
specifications.

I *really* like this style of development, but it is perfectly
acceptible to always use an ognl: prefix as well.  It's kind of like
people who always use this.  in front of every instance variable name.
