My goodness, someone has been doing their share of serious
investigation! I did indeed have the honor of working on Guy Steele's
team at Sun 5 years ago, for a summer. I was responsible for rewriting
the Math library for Java (and making it IEEE standards-compliant) for
v1.1, as well as researching garbage collection. Guy Steele was
writing the JLS at the time, and the team discussed various aspects of
the spec every now and then. So I had a slight role in the JLS
process, specifically regarding java.lang.Math. Very slight.
But yes, that's my name in the intro.
