These are reasonable guidelines. Lets add to the website.
Also, I've created a new JIDA category "Non-bug differences from RI"
which I think we should use for cataloging any difference in behavior
from RI that we choose to accept.
IOW, once we come to consensus in a thread here (not there!! Please,
stop the JIRA madness!!), we note it there, hopefully with a pointer to
the mail thread in a the ASF mail archive.
That way, we have a catalog of these for us (and users) to peruse.

This paragraph is just what I want to say about the bug compatibility,
my idea is:
1. we should comply with spec
2. if RI is contradict with spec, and RI is not logical(sometimes it is
very obvious, you know what I mean), we comply with RI; else, we discuss
it case by case.
3. if spec is not so clear, we should comply with RI
4. if some application failing on that different behavior, we discuss it
case by case
I agree too -- good guidelines.

Tim
