Why not allow JavaEE namespaced elements in the JBoss variant?
That would give you ease of use and would explicitly put portability out of scope.

> Provide a consolidated application (not JBoss AS) configuration file. This addresses "ease of use" by not requiring a user to understand which configuration elements go in which file (and the various locations for the file), but instead place all their configuration in a single file using namespaces. It also removes the need for vendor extensions to configuration in separate files.
