Hi,

Ralph> Should we follow what sun says or what sun does?

Let's follow the language specification.

This is risky. The market recognizes Sun implementation as "the" java language, and having a different behaviour may create portability problems, and no one will acknowledge Sun is wrong. At least make this an option.
