That's an oversight. I'll update the documentation, wich should go up in a
few hours when preview2 is released.

Actually, the request scope and flow scope are merged together and exposed
as a single model map to the view (look at InternalRequestScope.getModel()).
So if you have "foo" in request scope and "bar" in flow scope, the JSP sees
them all as just being part of the model:
<%=request.getAttribute("foo") %>
<%=request.getAttribute("bar") %>
<c:out value="${foo}"/>
<c:out value="${bar}"/>
