Collections is a special case. And there is a good case against many of the conventions from
SUN re Collections. The o.a.c.collection team must adhere to what SUN says (contract wise),
but what about the rest of us. Other API:s from SUN has different conventions on this.

With the Collections API being a special case, I don\'t think collection conventions should
be the standard (a _non_ binding -1 from me that is). I am all for whatever \"lang\" decides
upon, though. As long as they go for either IAE or \"do as you please\" :-)
