I just had an opportunity to look at the factories. I suggest to deprecate the 
two following classes:

     org.geotools.style.StyleFactoryFinder
     org.geotools.filter.FilterFactoryFinder

and replace them by

     org.geotools.factory.CommonFactoryFinder

Rational: peoples recently expressed on the mailing list the wish to reduce the 
number of FactoryFinder and consolidate at least some of them in a single 
class. 
The above-cited StyleFactoryFinder and FilterFactoryFinder contains only one 
public method, createStyleFactory and createFilterFactory respectively. I 
suggest to put those two methods (as well as some additional methods we may 
discover later in other FactoryFinder) in this CommonFactoryFinder.

Note: I'm not sure either about the class name (CommonFactoryFinder) or package 
(org.geotools.factory). Other proposals are welcome.

This CommonFactoryFinder would uses the Hints mechanism.
