and there is the jdk.net API which extends this to the java.net socket 
types.

I think a Java SE API would be fine if it is widely and consistently 
implemented
across all the reference platforms and if it does not cause 
compatibility issues.

If it only works on some platforms then maybe jdk.net could be the place 
for it.
