Thanks for the update Marc. I take it that OpenJPA will not have the

That is correct ... it is one of the things BEA decided to hold back
from the contribution.
Some of the extension annotations are still present (i.e.
@PersistentCollection/@PersistentMap) yet other annotations such as
@ElementColumn are gone. In fact its still possible to map sets/
lists using
@PersistentCollection, however the contents of the collection are
mapped as
a BLOB. I'm not sure about the story - have the differences between
OpenJPA
and Kodo have been quantified or is it too early to make this
information
public?
I don't think there is yet any public list available yet ... I expect
that something will be published around the time that Kodo 4.1 (which
will be based on OpenJPA) ships.

Those were actually some of the mappings that we didn't release to
OpenJPA ... we missed removing their mention in the documentation.
I've updated the doc source to exclude them.
