I'd like to see you start a JSR for updating the specs to include
minimal font, graphic, and system standard sounds (and encodings).
The platform-dependencies and lack of methods to work around these
limitations is very annoying and confusing.

It would be nice to have a standard set of icons, perhaps customised
to the platform, ditto standard sounds.

I have added your notes.

Is this just Fedora? All 1.6 Linux? When did they develop this
ability or have they always had it?

Any way, my latest cut is available at
