We should change that into something under jcp.org <http://jcp.org/> [1] which is what all other descriptors of Java EE techs do as of Java EE 7 (see Antonio Goncalves' blog post on this topic at [2]).

I think having a specific names space for BV is more sensible (as done by JPA, too), not the least because BV isn't tied to EE.
