The JIRA issue referenced explains the background to this issue, and particularly how JMS 2.0 incorporated various
incorporate pieces of specification relating to JMS that were previously in Java EE 6, but accidentally introduced an
incompatible change when doing so.

This issue is about maintaining compatibility between Java EE versions. We need to refer to Java EE 6 when deciding what
changes are needed now since it is Java EE 6 that defines the behaviour that Java EE 7 (including JMS 2.0) needs to be
compatible with.
