f:attribute does not work with JSF 1.2 runtime. I have the following in a page:

<ice:commandButton value="Test" actionListener="#{myBean.onTest}">
         <f:attribute name="i" value="testval"/>
 </ice:commandButton>

When I try to load the page in the browser, it throws the following error:

javax.faces.FacesException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot invoke com.sun.faces.taglib.jsf_core.AttributeTag.setName - argument type mismatch

The same page works fine with JSF 1.1 runtime.
