I've asked the same question with NavigableSet/Map during the JDK6 timeframe
so you should find the answer by Doug Lea on the concurrency-interest list
concurrency-interest at cs.oswego.edu

Furthermore, you can't retrofit EnumSet to implement SortedSet
(an interface that already exists)
because since 1.5, a lot of code was written and some may rely on
the fact that EnumSet doesn't implement SortedSet.
