I know about creating my own taglibs in JSF eg. but is there a way to use JSF to parse differently native HTML elements? I am thinking of adding my own parameters for forms, divs, that would be then parsed differently on the server before rendering the final markup.
A:
This sounds like a bad idea to me. Your apps will always be tied to JSF and your custom components.
I'll guarantee that someday a team of developers will curse you when they refactor the whole thing to use HTML 5 and CSS 3. I'd recommend not doing it, but that's just my opinion.
I don't see how this fits in with AJAX, Flex, or Flash. It has a 90s feel to me.

Wouldn't that be the case for most of the markup used in JSF applications then? It's all written in tag libs, not pure HTML...

Yes, it is. That's another reason why I don't like JSF.

Actually, the OP's requirement is also not possible in JSF :)
