It looks like both the spec issue and the implementation issue are complete
done, as both
https://java.net/jira/browse/JAVASERVERFACES_SPEC_PUBLIC-1370
and
https://java.net/jira/browse/JAVASERVERFACES-4070
Testing and writing about it will always help, of course. I'll include this
feature on my JSF 2.3 page soon.
