Clay is not recognizing the converterId attribute when using the generic f:converter

Description

There are several way to associated a converter with a component that is a value holder. The converter can be defined as a top-level component where the component type corresponds to the converter-id. Or, the generic f:converter can be associated to a converter using the converterId attribute.

Consider:

<component jsfid="f:convertBoolean" componentType="javax.faces.Boolean"/>

<component jsfid="testlabel1" extends="h:outputLabel">
<attributes>
<set name="value" value="true" />
</attributes>
<converter jsfid="f:convertBoolean"/>
</component>

This scenario doesn't work:

<component jsfid="testlabel2" extends="h:outputLabel">
   <attributes>
      <set name="value" value="true" />
   </attributes>
   <converter jsfid="f:converter">
      <attributes>
          <set name="converterId" value="javax.faces.Boolean"/>
       </attributes>
    </converter>
</component>
