Can I use JSF 1.2 in WebSphere 6.1 (Servlet 2.4, JSP 2.0) for facelet

I am required to use IBM's WebSphere Application Server 6.1 that comes with Servlet 2.4 and JSP 2.0. WebSphere 6.1 App Server limits me to using JSF 1.1. This is because, JSF 1.2 requires Servlet 2.5 and JSP 2.1, that is a part of WebSphere App Server 7.0; not a part of WebSphere 6.1.
That being understood, if I were to use facelet (as opposed to JSP), can I use JSF 1.2 specification in WAS 6.1 that comes with Servlet 2.4 and JSP 2.0?
Have following questions:
1. Can I use JSF 1.2 specification in WebSphere 6.1, if I were using facelet (as opposed to JSP) as my view technology?
2. Would like to better understand if it will be possible to write a complex web app with 100s of screens using facelet, instead of using JSP. I am asking this question, as I am not very familiar with facelet.
Any comment and pointer will be greatly appreciated.
