I would go for: +1 on JSF 1.2 only
This is open source, so no one is required to use it and embracing 1.2 is only going to help the development community move forward. +0.5 on 1.1 support with JDK 1.5 required on both. Just because the specification supports 1.4 does mean libraries have to. JDK 1.5 has been out plenty long enough for companies to adopt it. If they cannot adopt it, they should be willing to forgo new libraries and functionality -1 on 1.1 w/ 1.4 This is too much work and will really hold nicer features back (I also would have no interest in developing and testing it personally).
