Visibility of container invoked methods
==============================
Currently the CDI specification does not limit the visibility of container invoked
methods (observers, producers, initializers). We propose that this should be limited to
non-private methods, as otherwise we run into extensive incompatibles with other specs
such as EJB, and VMs (such as IBM JDK). Furthermore, having the container invoke private
methods deliberately breaks the intended purpose of visibility in Java.
Action: Pete to propose change to spec
