We discussed this question in an internal EE coordination meeting
yesterday evening and we think that a maintenance release of JAX-RS
(version 1.1) is the best way to address EE 6 integration. This will
free us to concentrate on getting 1.0 done without being tied to other
still-in-development specs that are on a longer timeline.

Hopefully EE 6 integration won't require any API changes, rather it
will involve firming up the existing section 6.2 text and adding some
additional requirements around what types of component JAX-RS
annotations can be applied to.
