There's a chat in a few hours on the future of the J2EE Web Tier. I'll be sitting in and hoping to learn something. The alignment of the JSP EL and JSF EL will be nice - but we really want HTML Templating for JSF - like Tapestry. After developing Tag Soup JSPs for JSF and HTML-editor-friendly pages for Tapestry, I can say there's definitely a big difference. Tapestry templates are much easier to read. However, if you have an existing JSP app, you can migrate to JSF easier.
