Great!

I agree that this is probably not of interest to the entire GNU
Classpath list (also, I'm not currently a member of the list and have
plenty of other list emails to wade through... :-).

Using a discussion list at SourceForge seems like a great idea. There is 
a javalogging-developer mailing list that I had not previously made 
public (because there wasn't anyone else to talk to :-). I've also 
arranged for every posting to the developer forum on SourceForge to be 
forwarded to address@hidden It is archived at:

        http://www.geocrawler.com/lists/3/SourceForge/12859/0/

Why don't we use address@hidden for our 
discussion?

Just this one comment is already getting me revved up for a great 
discussion. It will be nice to discuss things with someone who has also 
taken a serious look at the spec.

I'm in the same boat. I won't be able to much of anything until about 
March 10th or so. I'll look forward to hooking back up to get things 
started when our schedules loosen up a bit.
