Hmm. Don't think it's _that_ easy. For instance the "java." and "javax." namespaces are reserved and must not be used by any (official) product that does not implement the regarding JCR. However. I am not a lawer and I have no idea if that also applies to "hacks" and I do not know if there is a precendent about using a foreign reserved domain name as java namespace. My feeling is, that it is ok for the hack. But I'm not totally sure. --Manfred
