If primary reason for Tapestry Lite is to increase Tapestry adoption, then I think dependence on Servlet API 2.3 should be seriously considered.
Most of the big companies invest lot of money in application servers and they don't upgrade as quickly as we want. I have personally omitted many frameworks just because of servlet API 2.3 and I cannot use it in my work even if I want to. I won't either agree to the argument on forking Tapestry. I may need a feature available in latest Tapestry release (like JSP interoperation) but because of this dependence I will have to curse myself and use an inferior framework. (the latest version of Struts - 1.1 beta - is based on Servlet API 2.2). Conclusion : I don't want Servlet API 2.3 to be an indirect limiting factor for wider adoption. Just my 2 cents!
