Christopher,

I'm going to look at your suggestions for ApplicationFilterChain and
StandardPipeline, but would like to wait a few days before committing
anything -- I'm almost at a code freeze on an (internal) project using
Tomcat, and would like to not do anything stupid at this point.  I've
committed the typo-fixes (and I agree with you that they make life
better).

You're correct about the process.  I guess that I'd prefer to see stuff
like this sent through the bug tracking system
(http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla) just to make sure it doesn't get lost
in the volume of messages on the mailing list.  You can add the patch file
as an attachment.

But I'll still try to pay attention to them either way ... :-)
