I'm not really sure what a milestone build means and, more importantly, what 
expectations it creates for stability of feature set. 

For 1.6 I think there a few things which have been started which have not been 
completed. 

1. Have we settled on the interpretation of basedir in the imported fragments?

2. I have a test case which fails which I think should be addressed. It is 
currently disabled since it was blocking the reporting of the JSPC failures

3. A lot of the code has comments such as //EXPERIMENTAL. There is unused 
code. I think some review here would be good. 

I'm still nervous about the <classloader> task and its ability to change the 
config of a running loader. 

I would like to close off the 1.5 branch beore we really start to polish 1.6. 
1.5.2 was meant to do that but I think we may have rushed it a little.
