The specification java.{vm.}?specification.version system properties should state that they are independent of java.version. These system properties are are determined by the JCP (either a JSR or an MR). If there's ever an MR against JSR 379 (Java SE 9 Release Contents) the value may need to be updated to something besides $MAJOR. JEP 223 (JDK-8061493, Verona) should be modified to adjust the syntax of these system properties.
