[jsr345-experts] AccessTimeout 0

Hi all,

It would seem the documentation around using an AccessTimeout of 0 is a
bit screwy.

I think it would only disallowed concurrent access if it is used in
conjunction with a Lock WRITE. If used with a Lock READ it should simply
go through a read lock and invoke the instance as per David's pseudo
code from 2009. :-)

So if nobody objects I'll file an issue to adjust this.
