There is a note (still marked XXX to be filled in if there is an update
to the Interceptors spec) under 1.5:
"The Interceptors document defines the contracts and requirements for
the use and implementation of interceptors. These contracts, while
required by the core EJB specification, are described in a way that is
independent of EJB in order to faciliate their use by other enterprise
Java technologies. Future revisions to the Interceptors
specification[38] will be undertaken independently of EJB [XXX To be
confirmed]."
Should I remove the text in []?

Transactions chapter will probably stay as the new annotations will be
different, with the ref to the JTA spec, and may be some generic text
replaced with the pointers to that spec. But the interceptors chapter
might be a good idea as you are not the first one looking for the
clarity in this area.
What do others think?
