Ah, I see! So it's safe to assume that, in a JSF 1.2 environment, all
implementations will work and not throw an UnsupportedOperationException
then. I thought it meant that this was an optional operation that wasn't
certain to succeed.

As for the other part, it's just that I dislike to create ValueExpression in
Java just to evaluate it right away. I guess I would have been forced to do
that if the above method was not guaranteed to work.
