Hi,
Turbine will use this stuff (some of it comes from
Turbine) post 2.3 and we can simply adapt to the names. I'd like to have
the class in the 2.0 lang, though, so we don't have to drag it around
with the Turbine core code.

Putting this into a new class would be fine. I know of at least another
potential user for this - commons-mail. Also a similar algorithm is used
in one of the JSP taglibs, this could use this new class, too. Just
pulling it would mean that all of them are stuck with their own, buggy
implementations for a while.

+1 Let's get some flesh in there.

Thanks for your input, Stephen, it's very welcome.
