I agree with you howard. It just doesn't matter that I agree. The trouble is the wording doesn't make it clear in Java althought I agree the intent of the license is what you say.

I asked Sam Ruby about this and he said something to the effect of without clarification would you want to leave it up to twelve random people?

He does have a point. Look at section 6 in the LGPL.. thats the main part in dispute.

So lets say IBM included Tapestry in Websphere.. Yes they can release it under whatever license they want, but do they have to release their source?

See, that's the part I don't get.  I know this is tedious if you've been
through this, but I don't see how the LGPL is viral (the GPL is definitely
viral, by design).
If all you are doing is restributing an LGPL package without modification, I
just don't see how it affects your license.  As I understand it, the LGPL
and the ASL are pretty much the same, until you modify and redistribute.
