I don't know. By Adam's logic, the whole request/session/attributeMap
ought to have key validation to prevent keys from being created
non-identifier characters like ".". This is certainly not the intent
of the equivalent structures within the Servlet spec; why should there
be additional artificial restrictions imposed just because the thing in
that part of the map happens to be a managed bean?

The fact is that EL is not the only possible way to access a managed
bean.
