+1 for having our own copy of EL libs in the Hibernate Validator module. This is the easiest way to move the Bean Validation integration forward for now.
We re-evaluate once we see what's happening with the current EL module. Just keep in mind there are potentially other modules (for example Hibernate Validator)
which need UEL so hard wiring things via the org.jboss.as.web does not seem to be the way forward.
