Yes, that's what I am saying.

You can assume that. Actually, I can guarantee it.

If Geronimo and Jetty integrate well at present, adding logback-access to the 
mix will have no impact on Geronimo and Jetty integration. If you wish, it would 
not hurt to ask Geronimo and Jetty developers to upgrade to the latest version 
of SLF4J, that is 1.5.6.

No, as logback-core and logback-access are unrelated to SLF4J.

Please see above.
