I could go further with this change, but I just want to remove the
reference to the sun.* package, that should not be in the public API.

Okay, I think it's fine then. The term "default package" is used, but I

it's not referred to as such, in the JLS.

I just took the wording from the URL spec. I guess it was agreed upon
at some point.

language's "default package"?
Just on this, there is no such term as "default package" in the JLS,
it is the "unnamed package". But I accept that this is probably a
subtle difference that may not be widely known.
I'm happy with the wording as is, but if you think we should change it
then we should probably change URL too.

java.net.URLConnection.getContent() incorrectly specifies the default
location of content handler classes as sun.net.www.content. ( this
location is implementation specific )
"If no content handler factory has yet been set up, or if the
factory's createContentHandler method
returns null, then the application loads the class named:
sun.net.www.content.<contentType> "
This should be changed to something like:
<system default package>.<contentType>, similar to what is done
in URL [1]
