Here's a +1 from someone who's committed to Xerces-J and xml-commons. If
either project didn't want to move up to the latest standard API's, that
sure would be an interesting situation. :)

As I've argued before, it seems to me that this is a case where some
Apache committers have simply gone away for a while, developed some code
based on the Apache projects to which they have commit privileges, and now
have reached a point where they can commit the code back. It's not a case
where a new component is being added; simply where a rather large update
is being undertaken.
But I'm no lawyer, so I have no allusions that this argument will actually
count for anything. :) But given the apparent unanimity in the
communities about this being a good thing, and the fact this thread's been
pretty quiet the last couple of days, it would be nice to get some status
on when the granting/incubating formalities might be done with.
Cheers!
Neil
