Except that this "reference version" is included as standard in JDK 1.3,

How "official" does that make it?
It doesn't preclude other implementations, but it makes it an uphill
fight for the other vendors.

And hence, if a feature is not mandated, it cannot be assumed for a
"portable" implementation :-(
