[jboss-as7-dev] Getting on the same page with @Clustered @Singleton

[Jason Greene]

Note that singletons can express and rely on start order, which makes clustering them bend the spec rules (failover can either violate that expectation or it can require graph coupled failover) That's part of the reason it's deferred. It requires a bit more thought.
