No -- that pretty much covers it. We realize that we are behind on
our original schedule and want to set expectations appropriately.

Our current plans are that these would be MRs, rather than JSRs.
I believe our JPA Maintenance Lead will be starting work shortly on

Our plans for EJB are that (aside from any errata issues) updates
to EJB in this release, if any, will derive from enhancements
resulting from other specs (e.g., JMS).
