I would say - don't worry about JDK1.1. Support for JDK1.1 is important
for embeded devices ( but even there, GCJ does have X509Certificate - it
already supports a large subset of JDK1.2, and that's included ).

Individual attributes are good, but if possible with lazy evaluation.

The getInfo() callback in BaseInterceptor is supposed to do exactly that -
allow you to lazy-evaluate expensive request fields, so only servlets that
ask for the information will pay for it.
