Jozef, while you are thinking about how to expand this integration, could
you record some thoughts about how JSF might leverage REST. One of the
features that has been long requested of JSF is that it support REST. The
problem is, we have to first figure out what that even means. Maybe it isn't
even relevant. Either way, if there is a sensible integration, we (Red Hat)
want to be the ones that figure it out and propose it to the JSF EG for JSF
2.1.

It may well be that the JSF REST merely consists of defining mappings in the
PDL (i.e., Facelets).

If anyone else has any thoughts, feel free to share them.
