Description
Currently, JSF handles an ajax response, including the re-rendering of the
specified components, every time, even if onevent is specified. There are times
when the ajax response requires custom handling. For example, the HTML returned
after rerendering a large data table might need to be passed to a Javascript
widget so it can update its state in a widget-specific manner. There is
currently no way to do this.
I would like to see the ajax portion of the spec modified to allow client code
to override the response handling, thus assuming the full burden of updating the
client.

Research direction
No implementation file or test is identified in the issue. Start by reviewing the JSF ajax portion of the specification and the existing client-side response handling, then define how client code overrides rerendering and when the feature is complete.
