Why is WebApplicationException a RuntimeException?

Hello,

for the JSR-311 I have a questions:
Why is the WebApplicationException a subclass of *Runtime*Exception and
not of java.lang.Exception?
Perhaps it is a philosophical question, but I think it is better if a
programmer know, what kinds of exception he should expect, also in his
own resource classes.
