Yes, Spring is a philosophy or approach, that's applied in different areas.

Better. Although "standard" has a particular meaning (which doesn't apply to
the J2EE "standards" much more than Spring)

Also better

I like this. Good concept, well expressed. Probably should be part of our
brief paragraph.

I've been thinking about the phrase "application framework". Like
"application server". Spring is a framework for _whole_ application
frameworks. Whereas Struts is a _web_ application framework, Spring is a
_whole_ application framework.  If we could think of some better alternative
to "whole" to go before "application framework"...
