I am proposing to change the Bag interface.
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/collections/api/org/apache/commons/collect
ions/Bag.html

Add:
equals(Object) - Two Bags are equal if they contain the same number of
occurrences of all the same elements.
hashCode() - The hashCode is defined as the sum total of each elements
hashcode, where the hashcode for an element is defined as (e==null   ? 0 :
e.hashCode()) ^ noOccurances)

This will enable Bags to be compared.

I am tempted to change the rest of the interface, to fix the violations of
Collection, however that is probably a bad idea.
