Unfortunately I have to bother with it as our customers are device
manufacturers who are willing to pay for MIDP with JSR82 support. :-(

Yes, I saw that in update_adapter_svclass_list. I guess the problem is
that JSR82 lets an app decide to set the "wrong" bit, and the
conformance tests test that functionality.

So if I did a patch along the lines I was suggesting, and submitted it
here, would it be rejected on the grounds that it is not needed for any
"sensible" functionality ?

Thanks.
