Ok, the deal is that t:type is used to identify the actual component type (the type name is resolved to a component class name). T5 already has some magic elements, a.k.a. directives, such as t:body, t:parameter, t:block, t:content and t:remove. I don't want to introduce magic component types as well. The fact that you can do <t:textfield> rather than <input t:type="textfield"> came later, and is an ease of use optimization. I think it makes the templates look nice, it mimics a common approach used in T4 and it's very concise. > <p t:type="remove"> This is a my cool component.
