As you say, it depends on the definition of spi. I also think api in Bean Validation
is originally centered around bootstrapping.  However, by just adding ParameterNameProvider
into the package this would change without any negative side effects.

I was thinking the same initially, but looking at the amount of classes in javax.validation it is probably 
a good idea to use a different package. I am not sure in which other existing or new package it should go
except spi
