We are very interested in providing input to the JVM standardization
effort, and have informed various folks at Sun to that effect.
However, Sun's idea of an "open" standardization process is that they
produce the draft standard, and then let you send them e-mail comments, and
then they produce the final standard. There is no indication of which
comments were considered, and no serious interaction with the various
interested parties. Allowing Sun to be the submitter of the
Java-related standards was a big mistake, IMHO.
