I do fully agree with you here. I invented "xml-tools" to respond to a suggestion made on xml-commons-dev to include useful tools which are not shared between xml.apache.org subprojects into xml-commons (that would be the way jakarta-commons is used). I wanted to keep these tools out of xml-commons, so I made up a suggestion where these tools could be stored - that is, if the xml.apache.org community wants them at all. I want xml-commons to stay as it is: A repository for cross-subproject code so this code has to be stored and maintained only once. I guess glue code wasn't a good wording, sorry.
