Hi Gary & Michael, In case, Gary will lead this work, that will be great. I can assist Gary in few tasks as Gary would suggest.
I think, following would summarize our release strategy: Xerces-J 2.12.0 would comprise of two Xerces-J releases (similar to the 2.11.0 release). One release will be from the trunk. It'll comprise of enhancements to various API implementations within Xerces, and its XML Schema component will be at 1.0 level. This release would run on JDK 1.3 min. Another release will be from this branch: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xerces/java/branches/xml-schema-1.1-dev/. Conceptually structure of this will mirror that of the release from trunk. This will provide support for XML Schema 1.1 apart from XML Schema 1.0. This release would run on JDK 1.4 min. We have to raise the min JDK level for this release, due to the need from its XML Schema 1.1 processor. I think, our XML Schema 1.1 processor in 2.12.0 release should not be in beta (as in 2.11.0 release), and will be a production grade version of XML Schema 1.1.
