No, I was saying we could add a line to the JSF spec:

"If the JSF container is used in a Servlet 3 (or newer) environment,  
it should register an implementation of ServletContainerInitializer  
(using Service Providers from the JAR file specification). The  
ServletContainerInitializer should register the FacesServlet, with a  
name of Faces Servlet, if an existing servlet is not yet registered  
with this name. Furthermore, a suffix mapping of *.jsf [and/or a  
prefix mapping of /faces/*] should be added."
