Hi Ed, and the rest,

I am of the opinion that EL 3.0 broke backward compatibility and
it should deliver a fix so pre-3.0 behavior can be re-established.

We should not try to do that in our runtime as
javax.faces.INTERPRET_EMPTY_STRING_SUBMITTED_VALUES_AS_NULL
is already a source of enough confusion.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Kind regards,
Manfred Riem
