Note: when an issue is only about a class or method that was renamed, or
a non-important method removed, I fix the specification directly. But
following are some issues for which I would like clarification:
Page 10, last paragraph:
For RI the minimum Java version is Java 7. Making it compatible with
CLDC 8 which is comparable to Java SE 7 rather than 8, especially
missing Lambdas and all the libraries that are too big for ME.
I have trouble to understand the last sentence. Does it means that the
RI target exactly JDK7 ? (the first sentence said that it target JDK 7
/or above/).
Page 12, use case:
* I think the spec is missing a scientific use case (I would write
one, but time is missing for tonight deadline).
* Medical & Healthcare: please define the HL7, WHO, and CDC acronyms.
The International Standard Organisation (ISO) for example forbid the
use of any acronym not defined. Following ISO usage I added a
"Symbols and abbreviated terms" section in page 11. Either define
the acronym there (but I think we should do that only for acronyms
of significant importance to JSR-363), or write the full name
followed by acronym between parenthesis (e.g. World Health
Organisation (WHO)).
* The Medical & Helthcare "use case" just said that they need units,
but do not actually provide any use case. I think it need more details.
* Quantified Self: I think we should expand with an actual use case.
Page 24, system of units:
* The units returned by getUnit() is potentially infinite. The
documentation said nothing about whether it should be restricted to
the set of base units, or base + derived units having a symbol.
