Special Object

The second sentence adds little to explanation of POJO. Merely saying that is it not a special object while not explaining what a special object or what it lacks that doesn't make it special doesn't clarify much to the reader:

"The name is used to emphasize that the object in question is an ordinary Java Object, not a special object, and in particular not an Enterprise JavaBean (especially before EJB 3)"

Also you could call Special Objects "SPEJO", instead of SoJO, where the oh seems to come from nowhere, but whatever; this just crossed my mind and probably nobody uses SPEJO anyways.

Definition

The Definition section outlines 3 things a POJO should not do:

Extend prespecified classes.
Implement prespecified interfaces.
Contain prespecified annotations.

What is the source for these requirements? Also, in what sense is "prespecified" being used? What makes an annotation prespecified as such - does it mean a requirement imposed by an external framework?
