A couple of things...

What about a typesafe Java Configuration descriptor? Would it be possible to
use both a compiled class and a .java file? I don't think either of these
have been tried on a ApplicationServer (yet!)

If OpenEJB/TomEE stays XML, I would greatly prefer to have an XSD that has
all possible attributes and options built into it. This sounds old
fashioned, but hitting cntrl-space in Eclipse while editing an XML file
makes configuration a snap. It makes for less trips back to the
online-documentation and mailing list too :) 

The only thing I'm picky about is having "one way" of specifying the data.
Having multiple ways to specify the same thing will likely confuse
newcowers:

<Configuration> 
      <AsynchronousPool> 
       CorePoolSize = 10 

  <Configuration> 
       AsynchronousPool.CorePoolSize = 10 

My .02!
