Agreed that it can be made work for all cases (the RI does it already

encourage modelling styles that are discouraged by the JDK team. But maybe
that's just a question of documentation/wording, i.e. we could support it
everywhere but only show usage on return values / getter props in the spec.
I think I would also vote for making it possible for the sake of consistency.
If your argument about minimising/preventing "misuse" would hold, one would
need to look at supporting date types without timezone information again.
There the argument was also that a user should not be prevented to use Bean
Validation constraints and documentation is enough to make the user aware of
potential dangers.
