I have updated the spec to using the term "bean archive". I also made a small change to section 9.2 after consultation with Ken and Pete. It now reads: "All interceptors declared using @Interceptor should specify at least one interceptor binding. If an interceptor declared using @Interceptor does not declare any interceptor binding, non-portable behavior results." Instead of saying that the container must treat it as a definition problem.
