I've created JIRA issues for these and added some of my older ideas as  
well as some prototype code for the Facelets mapping feature.

Following is a list of the open issues. Jozef, it looks like you want  
to work on most of the feature requests. Can we close 3449, some guys  
start to think it's a catch-all thread? Also, I think the "anemic HTTP  
session" feature request is currently the most important one because  
heavy REST usage will bring down your service at some point (max  
session limit).

Solomon, the @Context problem in 3383 would be a good start as it  
requires some knowledge of RESTEasy internals.

Bugs:
