My bad, I presumed and had implemented those additional variables within
the RI way back.
I actually think it should be built in. When we talk about issues in
the alignment of JSP, this only adds to the confusion.
Yes, JSF is meant to be portable, but at the component level, backed by
variables. There are already a lot of implicit variables that are
assigned to JSF that only make sense in servlet world, but adding a
variable for a well known, accessible Object shouldn't be restricted.
Who cares what type it is... it is EL after all...
