I'm sorry I've never had the time to follow up on the XMP merging (see various posts in the past, but really my bad). Please note that something pretty much equal to JempBox is at home in XML Graphics Commons [1]. There are a few things JempBox cannot do that XML Graphics Commons can (like rule-based merging of two XMP packets), and the XML Graphics Commons' XMP component lacks a few of namespace adapters that could easily be added there.
Not sure if you would agree, but I believe the approach in XML Graphics Commons is slightly more sophisticated and flexible. I'd rather move that into a Commons XMP and add the missing namespaces now available in JempBox. If there's really a will to make a separate XMP component I'm willing to invest time. To date, it wasn't so high on my priority list and I'm starting to get some room to breathe in my current project, so maybe now's the time. Please, take a short look at what's in XGC and let me know what you think.
