Allow a <page> in pages.xml to override "inherited" <param>
-----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-3167
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3167
             Project: Seam
          Issue Type: Feature Request
    Affects Versions: 2.0.2.SP1
            Reporter: Daniel Wiell

When having a rest-style webapp, it's convenient to use a scheme like this to carry state between pages:

<page view-id="/booking/*">
    <param name="bookingId" value="#{bookingController.booking}" converter="#{bookingConverter}" required="true"/>
</page>

Sometimes however, one might want to override this parameter. For example, maybe you use the same page to edit a booking as when you create a new booking. In this case, you don't want the param to be required:

<page view-id="/booking/editBooking.xhtml">
    <param name="bookingId" value="#{bookingController.booking}" converter="#{bookingConverter}" required="false"/>
</page>

Currently, this will not work - you get a validation error. It would be a great if this worked.
