Yes there is

But what I'm mostly talking about here is the JSF/Facelets tag lib for 
rendering pdf documents based on more specific "PDF oriented 
tags" that the generic JSD/Facelets more "web oriented"  sdtandard tags (this 
is what flying saucer do)

IMHO seams 3 does not have that, or maybe I missed it? And I don'T see any 
CDI-extension project provides this as thi is more a 
facelets taglib than a rendering engine..
