Yes. I don't see how the provider approach complicates the api, and
given the JSON Binding is filed as a standalone JSR, with inclusion to
Java EE, we just have to support providers. Also circling back to
Inder's previous question, there was a reason to deal with providers in
JAXP world, too - number of applications decided to use Woodstox e.g.
(or even other non O/S providers) to address specific needs.
