/**
 * This is an odd construct.  You can't have a static method as an interface method, 
 * but you also can't have a factory method that requires the object to exist, if its
 * to create itself.  This interface is just a marker.  Make sure the class has a static
 * 'Component create(String key, Map attributes)' method.
 * 
 * This is a weird construct.  I'm reviewing.  In my experience, if it feels weird early on, it won't be 
 * there long.  Something, however, will take its place.  Custom components should have the option of
 * generating their own instances.
