Rendering A triggers rendering of B, so B should be in A's children.
A does not (should not need to) know anything about what's happening
inside B.

yes, the output might be the same as if A had rendered C instead of B,
but the path by which you got there is different.

No, because the replacement is B's 'local' or 'private' decision.
If A had to know this, it would break the component
encapsulation paradigm.
