The java-coder wanted to return a link here - the html-designer didn't give 
him one :)

At least for the actual case I think barracuda behaves well - when designing 
templates, one should try to come up with a html-mockup that sort of fakes 
the desired behaviour (form-actions pointing to result-pages and the like). 
Now doing this here would mean to provide an actual <a>-tag when you want one 
to appear in your html at that place. 

Having too much intelligence in the rendering will increase the need for 
configuration on the java-side - which is something that happened to us using 
struts and taglibs. We could create whole parts of a site with only one tag - 
with half a dozen cryptic attributes. and taking the current moon phase into 
account...
