However, we also need to make sure we don't leave the many Tomcat users out
in the cold.

One thing I'd like to see covered--that I'd like to know how to do myself,
in fact--is using the latest version of the EL (so that developers can pass
params to action methods, for example), and using bean validation with JSF 2
in Tomcat.

That stuff is built into Glassfish, but I have no idea where the official
JARs are for those things, and even if I knew that, I have no idea what to
do with them (just drop them in Tomcat's WEB-INF/lib? Will that work? Has
anyone tried that?).
