I think there is more benefit to this than just the WS-Policy.
For example, AXIOM could be used by any of a number of projects that need a
lazily-built tree. In Synapse, we use AXIOM extensively just to parse our
config. And also, although Synapse has a heavy dependency on Axis2, the core
model of Synapse was built to only depend on AXIOM. So I think this is worth
doing now.
It also seems to me that Axiom is pretty stable, which motivates it.
But I agree, Dims, if that was the only reason, then it would be simple to
fix. But the circular dependency is just an outcome of AXIOM getting wider
usage as an XML model
Tuscany may also want to use AXIOM in an implementation of SDO2.
Although the SCA implementation is migrating to Axis2, it would be
better if the SDO part could just pick up AXIOM. It would help if it was
available separately.
