Marc,

sense to add read capabilities to it
Agreed. I actually don't think these two classes (UriBuilder and
UrlEncodedQueryString) overlap much. How about I propose this as a
direction:
1. JSR-311's UriBuilder plans to use UrlEncodedQueryString internally
(not extending it) as an implementation detail. Pre-JDK7 implementations
of JSR-311 ship with their own, internal implementation
2. The JSR-311 Expert Group advise the java.net OpenJDK team what
features they would like to be able to use for the internal implementation

Richard.
