Mark - I can't seem to find any more information about these features. Can you explain how I find out more? For instance: * What versions of the XML components are going to be chosen? How is that decision made and where is it documented? * For the enhanced JMX Agent and Mbeans - where do I find out more about the design, objectives and delivery plan?
