<tt>I need more background here because this sounds like this spec. is</tt><br>
<tt>attempting to compete with Spring on its own and as such would need</tt><br>
<tt>to independently offer a component model, injection model, context</tt><br>
<tt>management, and a host of other things that Spring provides, but </tt><br>
<tt>may already be part of the EE platform.</tt><br>
<br>

<tt>drive those other specs. to meet those requirements.</tt><br>

<tt>I suggest then, that we surface a requirement for new platform DD</tt><br>
<tt>schemas across the board within the EE EG.</tt><br>
