Thanks Jonathan. I threw JTA_SPEC-1 into the excludes to try to throw you off the trail but indeed you figured out the pattern ;-)

Yes, I should have stressed more that this is the overview of the *current* state of JTA 1.2.

JTA_SPEC-5/"Transactional annotation" and JTA_SPEC-7/"TransactionScoped annotation" have had the greatest demand and discussion and JTA_SPEC-3/"end in relation to beforeCompletion" is just a spec clarification which should not require much time to complete.

The main criteria is the amount of time we have (basically end of calendar 2012) and so we need to keep it manageable, but beyond that this is definitely open and based on community discussion which is the main reason for my email.

Regards,
Paul
