I'm assuming that this is something that XML-Commons/Xerces/Xalan wish
to do?
I've CCd general@incubator as well, as I'd like Noel's opinion, but my
feeling is that *if* the Xerces/Xalan and/or XML-Commons community want
this code to be imported (and it sounds like they do - but I'd like to
see that formalised), then the community side is already there.
If that's the case, then I don't think we need to go through the full
incubation process (Noel - thoughts appreciated!) - we only need a code
grant from Sun (we can't take something into our repository until we are
sure we have appropriate legal rights to do so) + someone needs to fill
out the incubation docs to show that everything is AOK. I'm happy to
help out with the latter part.
