Hi Mark.

I had the thought it might be in servlet spec 2.5 and I tried to check,
but it's not up on the tomcat 6 docs site like servlet spec apis in
previous versions. There's a link in the tomcat 6 docs to the servlet
api, but it doesn't work. I suspect it's a left-over from when the docs
were copied from the tomcat 5.5 docs site.

See the Reference section of
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/index.html and you'll know what
I mean.
