In my experience with JSF, a binding failure is a more fine grained
result than per-request. A binding failure is a specific kind of
per-field validation failure. It's perfectly possible that some
bindings would succeed and others fail within the scope of a single
request. JSF allows individual handling for each such validation
failure.

Yes, this is analogous to the Struts FormBean concept.

I'm glad to see you agree on the value of having a template inclusion
mechanism, though I disagree with your suggestion to introduce an
entirely new syntax to EE. In EE, people are already used to Facelets.
There is no question that your suggestion is simpler than XML. We are
fully committed to making the templating language pluggable as in
Jersey
MVC. Furthermore, we must keep in mind our need to be very judicious
in
our decisions to invent new syntax and write new implementation code to
support it.

No question this is very powerful. Again, the pluggable template
language must support this solution.
