 Maybe I'm just hung up on some of the wording, then. I'd
like to see specifically:

 - An item about coming up with a set of benchmarks and
   performance goals as a priority. My BS alarms go off
   when people discuss performance outside of an agreed
   upon set of benchmarks (even if I know them to be 
   smart developers who probably have really done the
   bencharks and profiling)

 - Details about how the existing Catalina JXM management
   interfaces will be merged with Coyote JXM management
   code. Or at least an acknowledgement that it's an issue.

 - A listing of specific issues with Tomcat 4's current
   implementation. for example, the startup code is opaque,
   it's unclear what events get sent when, etc. The 
   important thing is that there's a specific list of
   problems that need to be solved.

 - And (I may be reaching here), Coyote is moved from being
   "core" to being "the connector architecture".

 I really like the Digester. I was referring specifically
to how non-optional parts of the core implementation (like
ContextConfig) are added as listeners instead of being
called explicitly. They look like they should be pluggable,
but the way they're implemented right now, they're not.
