You will find we implement more and more as volunteer time permit.
GeoTools 2.2 mostly implements the CoordinateReferenceSystem and 
referencing classes
GeoTools 2.3 implements the Filter interfaces
GeoTools 2.4 is intended to implement the Style interfaces
GeoTools 2.5 will finally start in on the Feature interfaces

For more information please review (and comment on) this steering 
document I made last week. It is nothing offical just what I can figure 
out of where we are going and who is planning to take us there.  So if 
you have plans let me know ;-)

We do try and make use of GeoAPI interfaces as they become available 
(says so on the home page), but often available is different from 
implementable as we found out over the years. I hope the steering 
document helps as it tracks geotools release against expected geoapi 
version for the next quarter.
