Some guy asked a question about IIS and at first it's OT. But after a few exchanges the solution is Tomcat.
So even if the person is OT sometimes the answer is Tomcat.

That said, lengthly threads that banter about the merits of various JSRs and specs clearly don't belong here and should either be relocated or (more likely), marked OT.
Where Tomcat is used as the reference implementation for the Servlet and JSP specs, and where the mission of the Tomcat development team is to deliver a 100% spec compliant Servlet/JSP container, I think it would be pretty difficult to make a case for calling such discussions "off-topic".
Another good reason for quoting the specs, chapter and verse, is that the tomcat documentation, for the most part, doesn't repeat what's in them. Therefore, the best place to look, when you want to find out why Tomcat (or any other spec compliant container for that matter) behaves the way it does, is the specs.
I thought your other points were very valid.
