Behaviour of UIInstructions in DataTable Header

[buett]

Hi,

We have switched <h:dataTable> to primefaces DataTable with Primefaces 2.0.2.
That causes a problem with rendering header facets with plain facelets (UIInstructions) EL Expression.

see example:

<p:dataTable value="#{myBean.list}" var="var"
id="myTable"
rows="20">

<p:column id="col1">
<f:facet name="header">#{amsg.courseNumber}</f:facet>
<h:outputText id="col1_text" value="#{var.col1}"/>
</p:column>
...
</p:dataTable>

The DataTableRenderer does not cause the UIInstructions component to render itself. The DataTableRenderer does toString() instead. But if UIInstructions is an EL Expression, the plain expression is written to output.

The h:dataTable works fine also with ElExpressions in UIInstructions. Is it possible to have the same behavior for primefaces datatable?
