This is good to know, but does it really solve the issue? The idea was a generic mechanism to add
tags/nodes.

Take a look at my example. After the "execution" of the "repeat" tag the XML could look like this:

<f:widget.tabs>
 <f:widget.tab title="static tab">
   Foo bar
 </f:widget.tab>
 <f:widget.tab title="dynamic tab 1">
   Foo bar A
 </f:widget.tab>
 <f:widget.tab title="dynamic tab 2">
   Foo bar B
 </f:widget.tab>
</f:widget.tabs>

That is the "repeat" has expanded to 2 new "tab" elements. And what's more, I don't want some
specialized code for the "tab" view helper. I guess I could achieve the desired effect with your
suggestion, but it wouldn't be a generic FLUID feature.
