Big fan of the "executive summary" section.

FYI, I brought javaserverfaces.org and the logo contest up at the
non-technical meeting for the team responsible for the Java web tier.
(Sun calls this kind of meeting a "p-team" meeting.)  Transparency works
in many ways, and that also means transparency to the componany
sponsoring the JSR.  Naturally, there was support for these ideas and
the spirit behind them, but I can't commit to any official position
regarding the current implementation of these ideas.

In terms of technical content, I don't like using com.sun.faces as the
groupid for the maven archetype  It should be

groupId: javax.faces
artifactId: jsf-api
version: 2.0
scope: provided

We should mention that the preferred way to install a JSF impl it is to
put it into your container's lib dir, and describe also the
non-preferred way to put it into WEB-INF/lib.
