It is also a work-in-progress, with J2SE compatability one of the most
important goals, if not the most important goal. Open source projects
make intermediate releases all the time, and I really hope they took
this into account. I'm sure they must have, because the "without
subsetting" clause is completely at odds with the open source
development process.
I've copied Brian Behlendorf. Perhaps he can comment... 
Thanks!
