Hi Jan,

I can't speak for others but for me it's been a lack of time. The project 
definitely needs new developers/committers in order to grow and it's great 
to see that you're interested.

FYI: I'm mostly a Java developer. Hoping that Steven or someone else more 
familiar with Xalan-C can comment on the technical aspects of what you're 
proposing.

Thanks.
