The idea is to avoid AbstractMethodErrors on pre-existing
apps that happen to have a 1.1 Application implementation.
You'd still get an UnsupportedErrorException. The
Application implementation provided by a 1.2 implementation
has to return a ResourceBundle (or throw an exception).
I'm not sure what you mean by "the correct way to
access the bundle" - this is the programmatic way,
in EL you'd use #{name}.
