I agree with Alan, addURLStreamHandlerFactory is probably an
attractive nuisance. It is not strictly necessary to achieve the goal
here; replace the problematic ( with modules ) system property with a
service lookup.
For now, I'd like to move this issue forward without the additional
new public method. We can have deploy use setURLSHF(), and document
the compatibility issue if applets/Webstart apps also try to set a
factory. We can revisit this later in 9, if it becomes an issue.
Updated specdiff:

I this revision, I omitted the implementation changes, so we can agree
the spec changes first. They are much simpler now.
I'm happy with this approach. One outstanding point from the discussion
is whether the URLStreamHandlerFactory implementation will need to be
granted RuntimePermission("setFactory"), if so then this will need to go
into the javadoc.
