For JSF 1.2, MyFaces could certainly get started on the non-JSP side of things at any time - Facelets would be a reasonable testing ground for verifying the functionality.
Parts of JSF 1.2 that would be blocked on others, I think: - Rev'ing all the JSP tag classes (need JSP 2.1 implementation) - Rev'ing the ViewHandler implementation to deal with "TCCI" (an acronym whose meaning I've forgotten(!) but it boils down to the need for f:verbatim) - Supporting the Java EE common annotations in the managed bean layer (a late addition to JSF 1.2, and one I was not happy about: PostConstruct and PreDestroy are cool, but the JNDI resource injection ones are awful.) I've no idea who'd be responsible for providing implementations of javax.annotations in Apache.
