It is a separate download with the binaries (hey, it's 'optional' :)

I think this is the case only for Style but I might be wrong.
For instance style is a built-in task that has a pluggability layer with all
plugins in the optional.jar

It is just like JAXP/SAX/DOM interfaces. You can have them, but you will go
nowhere if you try to create a parser instance without having the interfaces
AND the implementation that obey the JAXP interface/properties...
