As a followup to this dialogue (thanks Antonio and Pete!), I'd like to
encourage all members of this group to subscribe to the users list. It serves
both as a reflector of the jsr-342-experts email list (so that members of the
community can follow our activity) and as a forum where members of the community
can post feedback for us and discuss the Java EE 7 specification work (with us
and with each other).
thanks,
-Linda
