Some target uControllers may not support threads. I don't believe uVM has
them yet and given the size of James' uVM to-do list, it might be a while. It's
not something that needs to be in the spec...it's a Container implementation
detail is all.
Just like with a servlet implementation, the creator of an Embedlet or an
assembler (merrily wiring away using a hot graphical tool) should not care nor
see whether the container is implemented in a threaded manner or not.
However, the spec should provide some guidelines (as the servlet spec does)
so that Embedlets are thread-safe regardless.
