[webbeans-dev] [jsr-299-eg] Specialized beans

[Roberto Chinnici]

The idea seems OK. I saw that you fixed section 4.2 too, so as to 
preserve inheritance of producer and observer methods through 
specialization, which was my initial concern when I read your proposal.

I'd move section 5.2.3 ("Inconsistent specialization") back under 4.3, 
by the way.

I also noticed that 5.2.2 reads like a riddle. Maybe it'd work better if 
it was stated in terms of what it means to be "disabled".
