Maybe true, but I don't only want to think only in terms of AS releases. 
  There's two other community projects which want this, so if AS is 
interested, it can put things to the forefront now.  And AS can bring it 
in whenever it's ready.

So the question is: will AS want it in the future?  If so, I can justify 
the investment there now.

Also Remy, point me to the web integration parts?  If I remove 
jboss-metadata as a dependency from one or two projects, light 
everything red, and then plug in this thing, it shouldn't take me long 
to retool the lot.  Assuming Descriptors gets built out and is good to go.
