Thanks for checking.

1.a As I understand it - the proposed namespace on the sonatype side
would be jakarta.ai.
    Is that correct?

1.b OR - it would be several namespaces instead:
jakarta.ai.jakarta.agentic-ai-api, jakarta.ai.jakarta-agentic-ai-tck,
jakarta-agentic-ai-examples (which now are few already) ...

2. The structure of artifacts then:
jakarta/
└── ai
    ├── jakarta.agentic-ai-api
    └── jakarta-agentic-ai-tck

(BTW - why TCK coordinates separate jakarta and agentic-ai-tck with
dash? Inject uses dot in both cases:
jakarta/inject/
├── jakarta.inject-api
└── jakarta.inject-tck
)

If 1a is correct - and there is *new* "XY AI" Spec to come - would it
share the `jakarta.ai` Sonatype namespace?

Would this structure be expected one?

Suggests to me something like:

jakarta/
└── ai
    ├── jakarta.agentic-ai-api
    ├── jakarta-agentic-ai-tck
    ├── jakarta.xy-ai-api
    └── jakarta.xy-ai-tck

It might look fine, but...
I'm sure it's possible and I'm also pretty sure it's not desirable to
share access to namespace between SEPARATE specifications. Then it
shall be the hell of 1b.

That's why I'd like to see jakarta.ai partitioned up front and have
(like is for jakarta/xml/)
jakarta/
└── ai
    ├── agent (or whatever)
    │   ├── jakarta.agentic-ai-api
    │   └── jakarta-agentic-ai-tck
    └── xy
        ├── jakarta.xy-ai-api
        └── jakarta.xy-ai-tck

For N specs to have N namespaces (and not N*Z_i) to organize within
like the specs desire.

But perhaps it's only me.

I only wanted to challenge "one neat place", as I'm not confident that
would be the case.
