This business of Sun's wanting to hold on the the Java name as a
trademark, and the ISO voters objecting to it, isn't this really about
marketing?

It seems to me Sun could either:

1) come up with a different trademarked name for their own distribution
- how about "SunJava"? OR
2) come up with a different name for the spec, which it will not hold
trademark on - how about "JavaSpec".

Thoughts?
