Sure.

But you must understand that for one of us to look at it for validation
requires time.  I know that I personally am not going to jump on
incomplete patches sent here to validate them.  If you have specific
questions ask them here or on the #hibernate-dev irc channel.  

We appreciate you spending time to work out a patch.  If you want to
give it the best chance of acceptance and being looked at, then I
suggest that you make it "complete" and that you include tests showing
that it does what you say it does.
