Hi James,

I really don't know much about the situation WRT sun.  It may well be the 
problem is not that of willful intent, but rather of ignorance of the 
situation.  Even if there was a time in ancient history when a person 
actively rejected such a proposal, times have changed.  It would seem silly, 
to me, for sun to sit on this ancient code in view of their commitment to 
open source with Java.  Considering the fact that James Gosling was once an 
Emacs hacker himself, it would seem almost evil.
