jsr 305

[Joe Darcy]

Hello.

First, a procedural point, the party responsible for making progress on 
a JSR is the spec lead, which in the case of JSR 305 is Bill Pugh.

When I last spoke to Bill about 18 months ago, he said he felt the 
annotations needed more use on real-world code before they could be 
fully standardized.  I assume that the JSR has remained in that state 
since then.

JSR 308 is primarily about allowing annotations in more locations in a 
source file and *not* about defining more annotations.
