IMHO, the 1.1 requirement is by virtue of Tomcat 3.3 being a reference implementation for the Servlet 2.2/JSP 1.1 specs. I don't think all of Tomcat 3.3's features have to run under 1.1. Especially new features that come after 3 major JVM versions and almost two Servlet spec versions.
I'm not in favor of removing the 1.1 requirement entirely, but I have no problem with any Coyote based connector requiring J2SE. I doubt this will actually cause anybody any hardship.
