I'm sure it is :)
However can we legally use it in our project? This isn't the case for the EJB API. We need to check if we can reuse & redistribute Sun's binaries or source - typically we can't.
So our best approach today is to retype them all in from the javadoc / specification so that we can include the source in our CVS repository and build them ourselves or redistribute our binaries etc. Hopefully Sun will change this someday soon but right now using the Sun binaries would force people to have to manually download all the J2EE APIs and put them in the right place in their Maven repository which is a PITA.
There was talk of Maven having a special 'Sun' plugin to ask you if you abode by Sun's licencing terms before it auto-downloaded the jar. Dunno if thats ready yet.

Cool. Before you start - I'm not sure if we can reuse Sun's distribution of the API due to their licence restrictions (we should check).
Someone might have to do what Dain did for the EJB stuff and hand type in all the java code to create the JSR 88 APIs - unfortunately. Once its compiled we could do a quick check that the class files seem similar to catch any typeos.
