At first blush I definitely think this needs to be addressed with some kind
of attrition--whether that means removal of the spi entirely, I dont know.
As per the proposal and some initial conversations with Paul, I understood
that jsr311 intends to create a *useable framework*, not simply a bunch of
specified interfaces. In that light, I would be for some sort of spi. I
think we'll get a better handle on this when we have some examples to play
with.

I very much agree. Also the title of the JSR is JAX-RS which implies "Java
API for XML." Is there something specifically tying Restful services to xml?
I think javax.net.rs or javax.web.rs is more appropriate, but am not
particulary fussed about this issue--so long as it's not SAAJ 2.0 =)
