The EL now has it's own specification and eventually it's own JSR, 
separate from JSP.  The syntax hasn't changed any from the commons-el, 
but the new API is independent of JSP (which is a good thing!).  If you 
are using commons-el within MyFaces, making the transition to the EL-API 
is going to be easy.

Download the specification at: http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=245

Currently the EL-RI within Glassfish is the only implementation available.
