Is this CVS HEAD or a 2.4.3 WAR?

Ok. We should probably update it to at least 2.3.

Ok. This is the sort of feedback we need. At the moment almost everyone
only uses Tomcat.

Looking at the 2.3 DTD yep:

<!ELEMENT web-app (icon?, display-name?, description?, distributable?,
context-param*, filter*, filter-mapping*, listener*, servlet*,
servlet-mapping*, session-config?, mime-mapping*, welcome-file-list?,
error-page*, taglib*, resource-env-ref*, resource-ref*,
security-constraint*,
login-config?, security-role*, env-entry*, ejb-ref*,  ejb-local-ref*)>

Listeners came in 2.3 I think.
