Thanks Stan. I won't hold up merging this PR since it looks like it's out of our hands to do anything in this regard, at the moment. I'll pick this PR in my next round if no one else gets to it first.

By the way, from what I understand of that JIRA, this would mean that if someone wants to get rid of Mojarra and instead use a different JSF impl, then the API would still require Mojarra to be available, is that right?

Furthermore, it looks like Ed is willing to consider this as feature request for JSF. Should we raise it as one?
