Geoffrey,
The answer is 'Yes I want to include the Spring interfaces'
and I'm
going to do it in two parts
Part 1) Is the basic JavaBeans (none of Spring Specific
interfaces that
you mention - yet) that will work for Guice, Seam etc. Very
simple stuff
, mostly it's examples and Docs on how to do *basic* Spring
Drools
integration. This covers (in my opinion) what 60% of people
need. This
part I want to get done ASAP and it gives us a start in the
Drools-IOC area.
Part 2) is all the other Spring specific interfaces (such as
ApplicationContextAware, if the Drools Bean needs to know
about
configuration changes). I have a note in my Part1 docs to
show how to
extend if you need that stuff *now* . It's not rocket
science , but
people like to see it in black and white 
Timescales are a little
bit longer, and what actually gets included will depend on
feedback!
So , my next step is get get Part1 out there (and available
in
Subversion) and that way you'll be able to add your good
ideas to the
code  A Spring
configurable Drools Solver perhaps?!
Thanks
Paul
