My guess is there will be builds that are going to break if you remove
it, in particular there will be some XSL transformations that don't work
with the built-in processor but with Xalan.  Maybe things have become
better with JDK6, but the version of XSLTC that ships as JDK5's trax
processor is really buggy.

I don't have any strong opinion on this, it may be easier to just remove
the references from the ant projects (likely not a few hundred anymore).

At the very least the Ant project would want to keep it for test-ant, we
have a test-ant-no-xerces that uses the JVM defaults already.  If you
want to remove the bootclasspath setting, I can take care of the
test-ant case myself easily, so don't let that stop you.
