That's a good question. Having just started looking into this
recently, I don't have a handle on that yet. Part of the work involved
is getting through the 375 page spec ;-).
The other concern I have is how changes to support the JAXB spec will
affect the database side of Castor. I've been thinking that starting a
Castor 2 branch would be a good idea and do all of the work in there -
kinda like what David did with OpenEJB 2. It would also make it easier
to know that Castor 2 supports JAXB 2.

I agree - it's a good starting point.
