Indeed, it can't be really request scope, since the principal can
potentially change many times during a request. Though, once initially set
it normally applies for the remainder of the web request. For other usages
of the request scope it's not so well defined in EE actually.

Talking about this build-in bean though, wouldn't it be a good idea to let
JSR 375 take ownership of it? The CDI spec before proposed to the servlet
spec to take ownership of the build-in beans for the Servlet owned
artefacts (such as HttpServletRequest).

Kind regards,
Arjan Tijms
