They are not incompatible. The only problem with Chapter 5 is that the 
way it is written gives some room for a wrong interpretation that is 
seemingly inconsistent with Chapter 12. The only open issue here 
therefore is how to rephrase the chapter to make it easier to read 
correctly the first time.

There is a behavior defined in the spec, implemented in the EE7 RI (and 
all other compliant implementations) and tested in the TCK. We are not 
going to redefine the behavior. What we should do is to update the spec 
wording to be more easily understood.

Wrong. The EE6 RI implements bean archive isolation correctly (I just 
checked).
