NEW ISSUE: Inconsistent rules for the use of @reference annotation

TARGET: SCA Java CA&A (WD02) and SCA Java C&I(draft-20070926)

DESCRIPTION:
Java CAA WD02 - Lines 1235-1239:

The problem in this text is that a reference cannot be injected onto a
protected field without
an @Reference annotation, which contradicts the C&I spec.

Java CI draft 20070926 - line 378

which says that a protected field can be a reference.

PROPOSAL: Adjust the CAA spec to match the C&I spec.
