For the 2.0 release, we should "officially" support the 1.1 version of
the UsernameToken, Message Protection and X.509 specifications. 

I've already done a good bit of this for the 1.5.4 release, here's the
current status of things in a nutshell:

 - X.509 1.1: Currently supported.

 - Message Protection 1.1: Signature confirmation is possible atm, but a
small amount of work is required to tidy it up, test etc. Our support
for encrypted SOAP headers looks partial and is untested.

 - UsernameToken 1.1: Key derivation is partially supported, we don't
have any code for properly processing/caching nonces etc.

On top of this work, there's properly supporting and testing 1.1
functionality through the WSHandler architecture.

Definitely a good idea -- email is fine by me, but if folks prefer the  
wiki, that's fine by me, as well (as long as it supports RSS feeds :)

To seed the discussion, some things to consider in the near term might  
be:

  * mavenize the build/test/deploy/release cycle
  * checkstyle/pmd the source tree
  * Split the build into a few components -- core, handler, and axis  
come to mind
  * Port to 1.5 (using 1.5 language features -- this might be a  
problem for some users)
  * OSGI bundling

Perhaps more controversial, and longer term:

  * Consider enhancements to the APIs
  * Support JAX-B generated types from WS-Security schema
  * Study feasibility of signature/encr without need for DOM (stax?)
  * Use WS-SecurityPolicy as a configuration API?

I'm sure there are lots more things we could do, but I'd like to start  
out with a relatively small and achievable set.
