I did some prototyping with Nashorn and jQuery and the "decorate response" idea is probably a no-go for the following reasons:
1) It requires a DOMResponseWriter and the org.w3c.dom Java classes are not good enough for JS libraries like jQuery to operate against.
2) DOM manipulation is only one feature offered by JS libraries. Features like DOM event handling are not covered in the server-side use-case.
3) Fully decorated HTML can already be achieved by having renderers encode more detailed markup.

If there are no big ticket items in 2.3, then it may be overlooked by some, making it look like JSF is becoming a waning technology...falling to the single-page frameworks, or being pushed aside for the MVC initiative. We all know that JSF is still widely used and excellent at what it does, but I think JSF needs to remain highly visible with the 2.3 release as the leading server-side web framework for Java EE, especially given that there are a couple of years between each release.
