Not standard practice. However, I know that Bill has a couple of
minor updates that he was planning to make in the Java EE 8 timeframe.

Yes. That is a bug. I've passed the documents on to the JCP, so
if I can't make the change in this draft, I'll fix this in the next.

Correct.

I think there is certainly interest in this. We were intending for this
to be an MR. However, the speclead has been diverted lately.

I plan to resume work on this. This would be a version 1.2 rev A
however, rather than a new "dot" MR release, as I am not planning on
any functional changes, just cleanup and clarifications.

Given that these JSRs haven't yet been filed, I don't think they
should be included at this point.

I'm glad to see all the recent progress on Security 1.0. Once it gets
a bit further along we'll have the EG discussion about including it in
Java EE 8.

As Java EE 8 makes further progress, we'll continue with the updates.
Thank you for all the feedback!
