If you're talking about creating a Service Provider Interface, I whole-heartedly agree. I envision we would follow the existing JAR service provider mechanism (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/guide/jar/jar.html#Service%20Provider) and use commons-discovery to enable it. The library, as it stands, wouldn't be too hard to morph into two separate JARs, one for the API and one for the default implementation.
