Re: [jsr-314-open-mirror] [jsr-314-open] 490-XmlViews Processing JSPX files as Facelets

Rather than introduce new config files, which would be *so* late 20th century, I like the idea of leveraging the faces-config-extension mechanism built into the JSF config schema. It would really be great if Dan could chime in here, but I am aware of JBoss's position regarding not contributing without an active JSR.
