I don't think we want to - or even should - support everything you can put into a web.xml.  We're not trying to be an entire "Servlet [Container] Gateway" here, just an HTTP Gateway.
This is also my opinion.  The purpose of the http gateway is to expose services through http endpoints, and only that.  The fact that we are generating web.xml and exposing these through a servlet container should be an implementation detail.

If we are to support merging in web.xml then it has the following negative impacts
- potential merges can cause the generated web.xml to be invalid
- potential merges can cause interference at run time
- any generation we do automatically becomes part of the public API of the gateway.
