As you might guess from looking at the JDK7 schedule, the API will be finalized in May (with an official Public Final Draft).  This isn't the only chance to adjust things, since the JSR 292 EG expects to do a maintenance release (MR) of the API in the future, with lots more goodies.  Anyway, thanks for all the help!

Some small adjustments are still happening for JDK7, but they are getting rolled in now because of the JSR 292 PR.  The MR will be post-JDK7.

As soon as I get my head above water with the JVM changes, I'll work on finalizing the post-PR changes.
