Description

This can be easily reproduced wirth wicket-examples/template/templating using border.

Please open: org.apache.wicket.examples.template.border.Page1
ant cut ALL the contents inside span
wicket:id="border"
It should look like this:
<span wicket:id="border"></span>

After this, the page renders nicely.
But if you change it to look like this:
<span wicket:id="border" />
there are tons of exceptions that do not say anything useful.

I have spent 1 full day fighting with this before I found the reason in my little app.
