newInstance is probably best. Although its certainly not a fun job going through all the decorators to add this. Any patch volunteers?

I like newInstance. Unlike defaultInstance, it clearly allocates a new
object. defaultInstance sounds singleton-y.

I would prefer something like:
OrderedSet.defaultInstance()
or
OrderedSet.newInstance()
It seems more standard... what do you think?

This sounds OK, but what would the method be called?
OrderedSet.decorate() OrderedSet.decorateHashSet()

Basically, the lack of empty constructors with default decoration decisions. Example I'm looking at:
I want an OrderedSet. The only way to get this is:
OrderedSet.decorate( new HashSet() )
[okay, could do TreeSet etc, also could use MapUtils].
I don't know about you, but this feels odd. :) Especially as the user knows that HashSet is unordered, so why provide it.
This may be a unique example, but it seems that we could choose a
default
empty map for each one.
Just a view..
