Hi Andreas,

Since this is an RFE requesting an API change, then it (the API change) 
will need to be approved
by the CCC. The process is that someone from Sun (me in this case) would 
liaise with the CCC, by
submitting the request on your behalf, and then relaying any 
communications from them to this mailing
list (and vice-versa). But, before we get to that stage, we need to 
discuss the change on this list, and thrash out all of the
implications of it. We should be sure that this change will not have any 
unforeseen consequences down
the line.

Thanks,
Michael.
