I'd like to see some statements in the Javadoc about the intended thread safety or otherwise of the classes. I expect some classes are not thread-safe - e.g. streams - but there may be some utility classes that are thread-safe. It would be useful to document this both for the user and developer. However, if there are any classes that are thread-hostile (*), (I've not noticed any) I would expect these to be fixed before release!
