Why does tapestry-cometd have a dependency on tapestry5-jquery?

Whilst we would have loved to deliver a library that did not have a jquery dependency, unfortunately CometD requires either dojo or jquery. Most of the CometD javascript is considered "core" but there are some functions that are not implemented in core and are only implemented in both the jquery and dojo implementations.

There is an issue here to remove the jquery dependency.
