I'm not sure if others will agree, but if Tomcat had the option to
ignore META-INF/resources in JAR files, you could probably save some
memory. Since you are currently using Tomcat 6, this setting wouldn't
affect you at all, since Tomcat 6 didn't expose those files in the way
Mark describes. On the other hand, since it's a spec-requirement,
there may be some pushback amongst the team here as to whether or not
we should implement such a workaround.

We have lots of other settings that can technically be used to violate
spec-defined behavior, so it's not like there isn't precedent for such
things.
