Howdy,

>complete. What's missing is better docs, and lots of tweaks and fixes.

I'd like to help with the docs.  Can you prioritize what docs you think
need work (or need to be written from scratch)?  I actually have tomcat
commit access already, so there should be no delay like with
commons-modeler ;(

I fully agree with the rationale.  We can't make a reference
implementation stable release of a spec that hasn't been released ;)
Having a beta (as opposed to the current alpha) release, marked as
feature complete and just awaiting testing, is good.  We'll be able to
have minimal turnaround time from spec release to tomcat 5 stable
release.
