I see what you are saying and its somewhat implied when I pointed out 
the jboss-javaee-6.0 spec dependency doesn't have none-API dependencies 
defined in there. However, presumably this new pom (to define 
none-api-spec dependencies) would somewhere say something like "JBossTS 
version x" or whatever which would start us off with a different 
circular dependency. I see that you are saying "Neither of which can 
produce anything for that pom." but lets take hornetq, jboss-ts and 
jboss-as as an example, at some point they will all need to know about 
it each other in a pom where they are producer and consumer for it is my 
guess.
