[TRINIDAD] in 1.2.x prefix based servlet mapping required?

In Trinidad 1.2.x it appears prefix based servlet mapping, i.e.
/faces/*, is required for components like <tr:inputDate>.  I know this
has been discussed before [1], but using suffix based server mapping,
like *.jsf, does not work for <tr:inputDate> in 1.2.7 and MyFaces 1.2.3.

Is this a restriction, a bug, or am I missing something?
