public interface UniqueIdVendor

UniqueIdVendor is an interface implemented by UIComponents that also implement NamingContainer so that they can provide unique ids based on their own clientId. This will reduce the amount of id generation variance between different renderings of the same view and is helpful for improved state saving.
