[jsr369-experts] semantics of metadata-complete

Since there are some confusion of precise meaning of metadata-complete =
true
with regard to annotation scanning, we would like to made clearer in our
spec what
it means.

I propose to add the following clarification in Section 8.1 of Servlet spec:
-----
Annotations that do not have equivalents in the deployment XSD include
javax.annotation.annotation.HandlesTypes and all of the CDI-related
annotations,
and must be processed during annotation scanning.
-----

Please let me know if you see any problems.
Thanks.
