Uh, no,...

There are two resolutions to this.

  -   If Java becomes a specified part of the LSB, then it belongs 
somewhere under /usr, not /opt (and certainly not in a directory named 
"sun").  Its not an optional component, right?

  -  If Java does not become a specified part of the LSB, then it stays 
exactly where it is.  Sun Java selected the /usr/java installation point 
long before the FSH existed.  It is not appropriate to incompatibly 
change this due to a guideline (not a requirement) in the FSH - yes, we 
(Sun) believe this strongly in compatibility.  (Actually, by my reading 
of the FSH, we are compliant,... its the nuances of shall vs. should.)
