In the cases mentioned in the JIRA, the request is always coming from
outside of the current webapp scope, so I think
requestInitialized/Destroyed should be invoked. This should apply to
cross context, and error page processing.
However, this is not quite the end of the story, as this needs a
request. There's also a need to associate the thread during things like
background processing where there is no active request, and IMO that's
where a new listener could be useful.
