Description

Setting escape="false" on h:outputFormat causes rendering of an unneccessary <span> tag.
Setting escape="false" on h:outputText does not render the <span> tag.

Example:

<h:outputFormat value="some value" escape="false" /> renders: <span>some value</span>

I would expect only the unescaped value to be rendered without the <span> tag like h:outputText does.
