[JSR308] Runtime[In]visibleTypeAnnotations vs RuntimeVisibleExtendedAnnotations (class file)

Hello,

The current (November 14, 2008) draft of JSR 308 at:
   http://groups.csail.mit.edu/pag/jsr308/specification/java-annotation-design.html
specifies two new attributes: RuntimeVisibleTypeAnnotations and
RuntimeInvisibleTypeAnnotations. However, it seems that the current implementation
puts in class file different attribute - RuntimeVisibleExtendedAnnotations - which
is not defined by the spec.

Could you please clarify/comment this?

Thanks in advance,
-Yuri
