So, why write a spec that's loosely based on Guice (a lot of concepts look similar; along with Seam) when it can't be used in place of it? That seems silly. We should strive for the best all-around IoC paradigm for Java, regardless of where it's running. It should have hooks for different scopes (similar to Guice and Spring and HiveMind, etc)
