The comment on java.net.URL.set() says:

    /**
     * Sets the fields of the URL. This is not a public method so that 
     * only URLStreamHandlers can modify URL fields. URLs are 
     * otherwise constant.

(and it is indeed protected)

But how are URLStreamHandlers to use it?
Are we supposed to put our URLStreamHandlers in the java.net package?

Another package question:  Right now both URL and URLConnection have
"sun.net.www..." components in them...   Can we assume that the sun part 
will disappear?

Are things going to change a lot in the post-beta?

I know that the handlers stuff has not been documented yet, so I'm just
fishing...


Thanks,
Pat
