Larry, AFAIK Tomcat behaviour does not depend on the version of the deployment descriptor schema apart from during the interpretation of the descriptor. On this basis, I am against setting a precedent here.
Further, my understanding is that each version of Tomcat is written to support a single defined version of the spec. It is not written to support multiple spec versions. If a version of the spec is not 100% backwards compatible with the previous version I believe that this is a spec issue, not a tomcat issue. It is inevitable that in each new version of the spec there will be a number of areas that will cause problems with migrating applications from a previous version. I would be interested to hear the views of other tomcat developers on this issue.
