The only other one that we've had issues with is JavaMail.  That one doesn't 
even have an impl jar its that bad.

Maybe servlet, though not sure as Geronimo has used the same servlet API jar 
with Tomcat and Jetty for years.

Wasn't aware about the EL jar.  /me grumbles about the concept of an api vs 
implementation :)

Do you recall any details about EL?  Will dig around, but if you have any 
pointers that'd be great.

Picked through the geronimo-validation_1.0_spec source just to be sure.  It 
looks good.
