Thanks, Michael.  Jody wrote back directly.  I'll paste his reply here so

G'Day.

Not at all; indeed the module lacks a maintainer (the source of funds
for this project dropped out near as I can tell; other interested
parties are taking more of a long term research approach). So while I
am not against the work; indeed I would love to find a source of funds
for this effort; I cannot advise any team depend on others making it
available in the near future.

The push is still to use JTS; here are some examples:
- http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTDOC/01+How+to+Create+a+Geometry\

If you would like to try out the ISO19107 geometry module be sure to
set up your classpath to include the gt-geometry jar (or the
gt-jts-wrapper jar).
