      Description

      JSF 2 provides a new taglib.xml schema, and a new faces-config.xml schema, and comes with new files that describe the h: components and classes.

      Here's how the action attribute/property is documented in each. As you can see, the faces-config documentation seems to be a superset of the taglib.xml one:

      mojarra2\jsf-ri\conf\share\html_basic.taglib.xml [ taglib.xml ]

              <attribute>
                  <description>
                      MethodExpression representing the application action to invoke
                      when this component is activated by the user. The expression
                      must evaluate to a public method that takes no parameters, and
                      returns an Object (the toString() of which is called to derive
                      the logical outcome) which is passed to the NavigationHandler
                      for this application.
                  </description>
                  <name>action</name>
                  <required>false</required>
                  <method-signature>java.lang.Object action()</method-signature>
              </attribute>

      mojarra2\jsf-api\doc\standard-html-renderkit.xml

          <property>
            <description>
                MethodExpression representing the application action to invoke
                when this component is activated by the user. The expression
                must evaluate to a public method that takes no parameters, and
                returns an Object (the toString() of which is called to derive
                the logical outcome) which is passed to the NavigationHandler
                for this application.
              </description>
            <display-name>Application Action</display-name>
            <icon/>
            <property-name>action</property-name>
            <property-class>javax.el.MethodExpression</property-class>
            <property-extension>
              <method-signature>
                      java.lang.Object action()
                  </method-signature>
            </property-extension>
          </property>

      Since the faces-config documentation provides more information than the old JSP style TLD, we should probably generate it, and find a way to create our HTML component documentation from it, hopefully using a pre-existing tool that Mojarra or MyFaces might be making use of themselves. Alternatively, we might consider generating our HTML documentation straight from our Meta classes. Lastly, we can simply shoe-horn our newer data into the TLD component description field, and continue using the existing tlddoc tool.
