Great! Sorry I'm so late with comments - you two are off to such a good start, I was wondering if I had big comments!
-- BRANCH: Although originally I thought this code should go on the HEAD, I agree with you now that it should be on the branch. I suggest something like tck-jaxp-1-2_0 (arbitrarily picking - to separate words and _ to separate version numbers, and just to be slightly different than Ilene 8-) I don't think you can rename branches, I'd suggest you two pick whichever versions of files are best to make a new branch off of. Um, be careful to be obvious what/where you create the branch from, so that someone can build an xml-apis.jar from just the branch. I guess this means just the whole /external directory; we'll deal with the top-level build.xml later (it may go away later anyways, or at least not be important for this issue, so I don't think it's worth branching) Side note: if we want forrestized-docs for external that will change, we'll have to figure out where to put them - I'd tend to want to keep them under /external. If we get advanced, we could post various TCK-related info (at least whatever that's public-postable) as part of the external doc set... someday... -- VERSIONS: yup - the best of all worlds, as long as it passes the tck. -- MISC FIXES: they all sound good; we should definitely try to improve along the way (staying within the existing public APIs, of course!) -- FALLBACKS: since this is effectively an ASF release, I believe that we should have the hardcoded fallbacks point specifically to the current releases of our implementations of JAXP - namely, Xerces and Xalan. If anyone has comments otherwise, please speak up now! Thanks for getting organized on this. Feel free to start as soon as you're ready...
