Suggesting public GNU Classpath namespace

There is an idea to suggest the public name space in our Classpath that 
would not be a part of java, javax and so on API, but where we could 
release the classes we are promising to keep stable and compatible for 
future releases. This would allow to solve cases when we have something 
implemented, but must keep undocumented just because the matching Sun 
class is in sun.* name space.  This name space could be automatically 
included into our API doc and would be a place where we could place the 
independent implementations of something remembering the sun.* classes.  
Also our own extensions like HTML to DOM parser or CORBA 3.0.3 features 
that are defined in mine OMG book but not yet supported by jdk 1.5. The 
proposed prefix could be something like "gnu.org" or "fsf" (direct 
analog to "sun") or similar. Maybe somebody more competent in software 
licensing could check if we are allowed to do this (we have a lot of 
classes gnu. name space anyway).
