Well, some of the very oldest compilers would still be problematic, but 
they are much rarer now.  I worked on an internal IBM build of Xalan-C on 
about 14 different compiler/platform/word-size combinations and all we 
needed were a few minor source code tweaks (some of which weren't related 
to the collection classes) and some updates to the compiler options for 
the new compilers.

That said, pulling in the template collection classes from the standard 
library will make the code less portable.   Plus, it would break Xerces-C 
pluggable memory management, which probably make it a non-starter.
