I found a use-case where this doesn't work.

Templates are used by various other pages in the web app.  They have a 
static location, but their links are processed as if the template's 
"location" in the directory hierarchy was the location of the template 
client.

Example:  I have a template at /rsrc/priv/lnf-template.xhtml which 
includes other resources.  Abbreviated example:

<LNF-TEMPLATE.XHTML>

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
       xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
       xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html">

   <h:head>
     <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
     <link href="../css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
     <title>
       <ui:insert name="title">
         Facelets Template
       </ui:insert>
     </title>
   </h:head>

   <h:body>
  ...
</LNF-TEMPLATE.XHTML>

That link href to the style sheet is processed by the client, but the 
client could be any page in the directory hierarchy.

For example for a client from the root directory (/readPost.xhtml), that 
relative link in the template doesn't work.

<READPOST.XHTML>

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
       xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
       xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets">

   <h:body>
     <ui:composition template="/rsrc/priv/lnf-template.xhtml" >
       Hello from Facelets
     </ui:composition>
   </h:body>

</html>

</READPOST.XHTML>

Pretty ugly, if you ask me.
