Can you elaborate?


<jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="2.0"
                xmlns:tags="urn:jsptagdir:/WEB-INF/tags" >
  <tags:test/>
</jsp:root>

It's been around for several years.  The urn:jsptagdir:path was introduced in JSP 2.0 (2003).

It's not a new concept at all.

 When I look at faces-config.xml, I see something
that looks like the typical DD elements we've seen in the past:

<managed-bean>
    <managed-bean-name>TestBean</managed-bean-name>
    <managed-bean-class>test.TestBean</managed-bean-class>
    <managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>

That's not a new style and given that JSPs are defined in the web.xml,
I'm not sure what "new" style you are talking about.  Note, we're
talking about metadata syntax, not the JSP/JSF page source.
