Just that JCACHE uses a Map interface rather than a tree structured one.

In general, I think this is a good idea as there are many use cases (Hibernate, among others) where a tree structure is too complex and unnecessary from an API perspective (but necessary from a performance/efficiency perspective).

E.g., Coherence offers a Map interface, but internally key/value pairs are broken up into buckets for finer grained concurrency and replication.

Hmm, this would mean shipping with those interfaces though.  Perhaps these could be additional downloads?  Like you said, we'd need to research legality anyway.
