I really like the current arrangement of providing a unified way to
access it whether it's startup time or request processing time.

If we specify it that way, it will be that way. It is currently
specified so that getApplicationContextPath() may be called at startup
time. Note that there is no "Portlet:" text in the javadoc for
ExternalContext. I'd like to keep it that way. I could see a need for
it in some kinds of extensions to JSF, so I'd rather not restrict it.
