Aside from leveraging the domain name system, how else does one assure that
one's packages are globally unique?  How do we know that someone in Russia
right now is not working on a project that uses 'cork' as its top level package
name?

But what if someone else wants to develop their own implementation of the JAPL
interfaces?  If JAPL were its own separate entity then it would be easier for
multiple implementations of JAPL to be made and other projects besides
Embedlets would also be more likely to use them.

This is an interesting idea and I am going to need do some thinking on it...

In the mean time, I just checked at godaddy.com and jhal.org is available for
$8.95/year if you are interested. ;-)

Hmmm.  As a developer I think you are able to create folders in the CVS? 
Anyway, I added a 'japl' directory inside of the dev_docs directory so go ahead
and start placing your materials here.
