I don't understand this case. Why and how would a spec be able to be associated 
with more than one class? I can understand mapping one spec to several page 
names but not mapping one spec to several classes.

If I understand the issue the problem to solve is deal with:
<page name="P1" specification-path="pages/Page"/>
<page name="P2" specification-path="pages/Page"/>

Why don't thow an error message in this case if there is no .page available?
I thought the .page specs were still fully supported.. so with a .page file, 
tapestry should be able to map from a page to a class without issues., right?
And allowing .page descriptions without a class doesn't make sense to me... 
Either you develop specless or not.
