angela commented on JCR-996:
----------------------------

apart from discussing the interfaces, we may take a look at the implications of Path/Name interfaces.
I could see the followings issues that we need to get a consensus about:

- Would it be an option to change the derived interfaces in jackrabbit-jcr-commons in order to use the Name/Path
  interfaces instead of QName/Path classes. I think of
   - NamespaceResolver
   - NameCache
   - PathCache

- The same question arises for 
   - NameFormat
   - PathFormat

Since both the 'core' and the various modules in the spi contrib make use of the mentioned functionality present in jackrabbit-jcr-commons, i think this issue should be discussed on a broader basis. 

Copying the utilities to the SPI-commons just in order to be able the change them doesn't seem a sensible solution to me.

> The SPI interface currently has a dependency to QName and Path classes in jackrabbit-jcr-commons. Architecturally it would be better to have Name and Path interfaces in the SPI package, and have the implementing classes in commons.
