Regarding to
<URL:http://java.sun.com/security/JCE1.2/earlyaccess/>,
I can easily read the JCE 1.2 Api Spec HTML files and
download them from
<URL:http://java.sun.com/security/JCE1.2/earlyaccess/packages.html>.

However, if I try to download the API specification
as a single file, I am requested to acknowledge that
I were US or Candian citizen or permanent resident,
which I am not.

Why this inconvenience to no US/Canadian people?
