Did anyone checked the license on jaxp ?
I know some JSRs do not allow distribution of modified ( incomplete )
APIs.
I think someone should check that.
It may help to have some link to point that if people want a
'JAXP' implementation they need to download both xalan and xerces
( or just xalan - as it includes both ). Xerces distribution only
has 1/2 of JAXP.
