Spoke too soon :-(
I'd been checking to see if it was the servlet mapping that was causing the issues, so I changed the mapping from *.xhtml to *.faces... and I'd forgotten to change the url in my browser, so I was being served the raw .xhtml which was rendering the <h2> as a <h2>... removing the com.sun.faces.validateXml had no effect The problem still exists!
