So what do you think?

ok - possible I guess but I think it's highly unlikely ? It looks like alot of extra care for a case that shouldn't happen. I'll stick with your earlier suggestion unless you or others object.

For the 3 InitialContextFactory implementations in JDK (DnsContextFactory, RegistryContextFactory, LdapCtxFactory), none uses the provider() static method convention, so for them the Provider.type()s are actually the same as their implementation classes. Should other InitialContextFactory service providers use the provider() static method convention (they may do this only if they are provided as Java modules I think), the InitialContextFactory sub-type name searched for in the NamingManager.getInitialContext() method is the provider type name, and not the implementation class name of the InitialContextFactory. They are usually the same, but in case of provider() static method convention, they may or may not be. This is not a problem for JDK supplied implementations and I don't think for any other current implementation. But anyway, I think this distinction should be spelled out in the specification of the NamingManager.getInitialContext() method and this is an opportunity to add some text for that. For example:

Otherwise, I think this webrev looks good now.
