I'd say we do (1) based on (2), and the propose (1) as a Sun JSR. Log4j
then becomes the reference implementation ;0)
In practice, we are doing a similar thing with Struts and Taglibs. In
effect, these products are doing practical research for JSR#052. When
the standard set of tags is release, Struts will move quickly to fall in
line, since our users expect us to support the standards first. People
are already using Struts as a standards-compatabilty test for their
containers. I think that's a good rep for a Jakarta product to have.
To take a page from Apache XML:
"to provide feedback to standards bodies from an implementation
perspective".
