yes i think so.

you plan to use only the digester engine and then create your own custom 
rules. these custom rules are going to use internal log4j introspection 
code (where needed) and therefore won't require beanutils.

you're not bothered about not supporting the most popular digester rules 
since you'd expect people to creating their own custom rules.

is this a fair summary?


have you thought about what you're going to do about patten matching rules?


on a different track, i suppose the one advantage of using a completely 
rewritten digester is that you can use those improved names with fear of 
breaking backwards compatibility.
