I tend to agree with you, but not supporting it if most other app
servers do causes the opposite problem, that non-compliant apps that
run elsewhere won't run on geronimo. In particular xpetstore seems to
make use of this non-compliant behavior.

It would be convenient, but might cause applications to fail when
ported to other app servers. If the spec is clear on the correct
usage, then I think it's better to just detect the problem and display
a very specific warning/tip in the log so that the developer can
easily find and fix the problem at development time. (As opposed to
having to hunt down a generic lookup failure, or figure out why things
suddenly broke months later when moved to a different app server.)
