I'm suggesting maybe it should.

I altered the numbering scheme at some point to follow EL spec numbering,
not Seam numbering.
Really, we should migrate to the EL RI as soon as it has the features we
need.
It's maintained by us.
I'm not convinced that the EL RI is going to have everything we want. For
one, it does not support projections. Also, the syntax is a bit quirky still
in the RI. I know we want to track the standard, but I also think that there
is still room for extension. Besides, the fact that the EL is still not a
top-level JSR bothers me.
