Ah. And JavaMail? There is only one functional JavaMail out there, and it
comes from Sun. Maybe Classpathx's can be considered functional. So we're
talking just about interfaces, and dummy stubs of classes without any real
functionality?
What's the point? To show that you can compile and link against the spec?
And, as Craig noted: "There is often what you might call "implementation" in
the javax.<spec> domain."
And how does this square with Geir's comment:

Why would there be collisions if we are talking about a spec jar, except
when the spec jars are also the implementation?
I find that I am more in agreement with Craig and ... well ... Craig ...
hmmm ... odd coincidence. And both work for Sun. Odder still. In any
event, the idea of an map to where the JSRs are hosted makes sense, but an
uber-umbrella isn't making sense to me, so far.
