No thanks, at this point in time I have no interest in JSRs either. The
ones I've been involved with are a huge, inordinate waste of time.

Again, much like Maven itself the primary desire is to make something
useful and I think an OSS project has a good chance of becoming a
defacto standard by virtue of its utility and not its
"standards-compliance". There is so much crap to deal with wrt JSRs and
even though Apache has made progress on the OSS front I'm pretty much of
the mind Sun and JSRs in particular are a complete waste of time.

I'v actually gone the other way in the things I've worked on and
stripped out the use of JAXP, the Servlet API and any other huge fat
APIs that are growing out of control in order to serve coporate
interests and feeding the proliferation of tome-like books: "EJB before
you turn 65!", or "JSF for those who want to give up their families in
order to find the time to read this anchor!".
