Hi all,

Before Xerces 2.2.0 was released, we tried to fix a bug in the JAXP code,
so that file paths (got from File objects) can be correctly converted to
URI's. Thanks to Neeraj, who committed the fix that solved a big part of
the problem.

One thing was missing from Neeraj's fix: it doesn't support non-ASCII
characters. This is why I committed another fix for the same problem, using
a different approach (borrowed from other parts of Xerces), with the
support of non-ASCII characters.

As we all know, JAXP is not our (Xerces') code, so it's better if it lives
in a common place (xml-commons would be a good candidate) so that other
projects can have access to this fix. Before moving on, we'll need to pick
one of the two solutions.

I don't know which one is more appropriate, so I would like to ask for your
opinions (especially Neeraj's) on:
1. How long and how much effort does it take to update Neeraj's approach to
support non-ASCII characters?
2. In terms of correctness and completeness, in which approach do people
feel more confident?
3. Which one performs better?

Thanks,
