I'm just a JSON-RPC-Java user, and my use-cases are so simple it's 
unlikely I'll be contributing any code. But to my mind, as originator of 
the code, Michael has priority. Especially now he's publicly committed 
himself to devoting time to the project and is willing, nay keen, to 
work with the Jabsorb developers.  As for the differences in formatting 
standards preventing generation of clean patches, could this be 
rectified with an appropriately configured code prettifier (possibly 
applied to both trees)?

p.s. I have read the remainder of the thread, but this seemed a more 
appropriate place to put this comment.
