There is no particular timeline for getting these fixes in JDK 7; 
although they should get there at some point of course.

Yes, nuking those CVS $Ids was on my possible to-do list before the 
OpenJDK 6 Mercurial transition.  We'll also renormalize the whitespace 
in all the sources before switching to Hg.

There were a few new tests for the JAF upgrade in jaxws, but we had 
problems getting them to run inside jprt although they passed fine in 
other settings.  There is a bug for getting those tests in OpenJDK 6 
(6741224 "Integrate tests for JAF 1.1.1"); I didn't want to hold up the 
rest of b12 for figuring this out.
