I personally have not argued for that and it would be OK for me if
that possibility remains. I do like to see it documented a bit better.
There are at least 2 places in the spec that could at least "casually"
mention that this is possible.

The previous discussions about resource contracts did hint if I
remember correctly that a more strict contract definition would be
investigated. Currently it's just a directory with files. Any plans
there?

The proposal asked for only top-level views to be there. The idea was
as analogy of sorts to /resources, which also doesn't contain all
kinds of Facelets.

Kind regards,
Arjan
