[jsr372-experts] Re: jsf.ajax.request() options.params is never considered in Mojarra

Nonetheless, I created an issue on this:
https://java.net/jira/browse/JAVASERVERFACES-4115

I will consider the both implementations exposing the similar issue as
"coincidence". If all unit tests run successfully after fixing this in
master, I'll push it forward.

Cheers, Bauke
