I refer to this JIRA issue:
http://java.net/jira/browse/JMS_SPEC-40

There were no objections to detailed proposals I made on 3rd April (following the outline proposals which I proposed
last August), so I have now made the necessary API, javadoc and spec updates.

The updated Javadocs are here:
http://java.net/projects/jms-spec/sources/repository/content/jms2.0/target/jms-2.0-javadoc.jar

The updated draft spec is here:
http://java.net/projects/jms-spec/sources/repository/content/jms2.0/specification/word/JMS20.pdf

Please see the JIRA issue for a summary of the changes.

I think this is a very significant change which at last allows messages from a topic subscription to be consumed in a
scalable manner.

In order to explain this change I've clarified some of the terminology by explaining the distinction between a
subscription (which may be durable or non-durable, shared or unshared) and a consumer (MessageConsumer) or subscriber
(TopicSubscriber). Please take a look and let me know if you have any comments.
