Yes, OpenJDK is the reference implementation of JDK7.

My point was that if there was a problem with the "web browser
plug-in" used with OpenJDK (IcedTea) that there was always the option
of using the freeware distribution of the JRE from Java.com, which
uses a propietary web browser plug-in, much more tested on the field
than "Icedtea".
