Well in a sense we can; in the generics approach FeatureSource, 
FeatureReader, FeatureVisitor all remain
named as they are; generics are used to specifiy the SimpleFeature part. 
Since most users will access
these via DataStore for now the SimpleFeature part will be provided for 
them.

In geneal the generics approach is less both for me - there is simply 
less classes to document.

The no generics approach is also nice because everything is nice and 
clear :-) I figure gabriel should have strong guidence for us as he is 
planning on doing the work.

They all do the same thing; and that is part of what makes the debate 
about approach difficult :-) Because it comes down to style rather than 
ability.

I think we have started; WFS 1.1 is the motivation for taking this 
problem on now. As far as I can tell reading the code examples - all 
these approaches are capable.
