I'm not sure why you read it that way. It don't see how our specification can impose any requirements on other specifications, like CDI or EJB.
You can certainly implement this by modifying your CDI and EJB implementations that integrate with your JAX-RS implementation, but this is just an implementation detail. The only thing that matters to the spec is the exposed semantics to the JAX-RS developer.
