That's terrific. I'm glad you appreciate the changes.

Language lawyer wars, hmm? :)
The spec (section 8.3.2) actually says that the isX() version is
an allowed variation, not a requirement. My feeling is that isX() is
good for some booleans, and getX() good for others. isVisible() is a
great example of where isX() works - a Component is visible, or
not. getFactDuplication() makes more sense than any variation I can
think of using 'is' - isFactDuplication() doesn't sound right or make
as much sense.
Note that Jess handles isX() accessors when they appear in other Beans.
