Nope it was my responsibility and I carefully updated the javadocs; if 
that was not good enough I need to hear about it. You were correct that 
the interfaces were not clear; please review what is there now (rather 
than the way things were years ago). So far Jesse and Gabriel have been 
able to use them as they stand; I have my troubles with some of the 
entries (you mentioned publisher; I get stuck on schema) - but having a 
set that is documented via dublin core is much better than years spent 
stuck on the fine points of mean is it not?

There were two hesitations:
- when Gabriel started generics were not needed; where he ended up it 
looks like they may be required
- the other one is his deadline; I am not confident that we can explain 
a set of classes that use generics well enough to get the proposal 
approved.

I started off a generics example in another email; is that what you had 
in mind?

We also cannot snowball people due to lack of time; 6 of one half a 
dozen of the other. I still have referencing work that is waiting 
Martin's review before it is advertised as the way to do things...
