The tricky part about this is the  "not care about which deployments are needed for this" bit. Well, thinking about it maybe not all that tricky.  :)  The clustering services come in 4 general "categories"

1. Core capabilites (jgroups integration, infinispan integration)
2. Remote access stuff (HAPartition for cluster-aware proxies, HA-JNDI). You don't know if this is needed as the requirement comes from * an annotation on an unknown EJB in deploy/
* a completely unknown remote client that wants to use HA-JNDI

3. HASingleton (which is just a different use case for HAPartition), no added services
4. Misc odds and ends

So, a <cluster/> element itself implies a need for 1. A couple attributes on <cluster/>, default = true, could control 2 and 3. I'd have to look more closely at the 4 stuff, but I suspect it's either so lightweight we just include it if 2 or 3 are needed, or we can detect the need for it from what other capabilities are required.

So, yeah, using <cluster/> as a trigger to add some extra capabilities sounds good.
