I need more background here because this sounds like this spec. is
attempting to compete with Spring on its own and as such would need
to independently offer a component model, injection model, context
management, and a host of other things that Spring provides, but
may already be part of the EE platform.

If there are requirements needed from other specs., then let's
drive those other specs. to meet those requirements.

I suggest then, that we surface a requirement for new platform DD
schemas across the board within the EE EG.
