Description

We recently moved to 5.4-beta-22.

We discover that it is now required to add for all mixins parameters in the tml, the prefix of the mixin (the associated commit is https://github.com/apache/tapestry-5/commit/1f0c7464c80e415a19825c612ca6b8139db6ba1e).
We think that it is a good thing to prevent conflict between components and mixins.

But is it possible to provide a backward compatibility system so that we can still use the mixin parameters without the prefix.
Otherwise we will be forced to go through all our TMLs to modify them and it is a lot of work !

For example, a configuration value saying if :

• the prefix is strict (only parameters with prefix are allowed)
• the prefix is optional (both syntax with and without a prefix are allowed)
• the prefix is disallowed

Thanks in advance.
