This is sort of addressed by the "source" attribute that was added to the
javac task recently.  If your code contains asserts and you compile with
1.2, 1.3, 1.4 or 1.1, the code will NOT compile unless you specify "-source
1.4" on the compiler's command line, and even that will only work with 1.4
of course.  All of that is independant of the proposed changes, which are
targetted at enabling assertions at runtime.
