I think the approach and naming is good. A few small comments on the
wording:
1. "used to locate URLStreamHandlerProvider providers" - the wording
hints as further redirection, maybe it would be better as
"URLStreamHandlerProvider implementations".
2. "the ordering that providers are located" - maybe this should be "the
order that providers are located".
3. "Some protocol, that are fundamental ...". Here's a re-worded
statement to consider:
"Some protocol handlers, for example those used for loading platform
classes or classes on the class path, may not be overridden. The details
of such restrictions, and when those restrictions apply (during
initialization of the runtime for example), are implementation specific
and therefore not specified".
One other thing in this area is setURLStreamHandlerFactory(null). Long
standing behavior is to remove the system-wide URLStreamHandlerFactory,
should this continue?
