I definitely like the idea of sharing our serializers, and moving them to
xml-commons so they're generally available to Apache-based XML
applications, but I'd like to pause for a sanity-check.
1) There have been some known issues in the Xalan "default identity
transformation" code -- see the long-standing Bugzilla entry at
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5779
That really should be fixed and verified before I would be comfortable with
recommending that Xerces cut over.
2) If we're suggesting using the Xalan serializers to write out the
contents of a DOM, we should review Xalan's namespace fixups to make sure
they're compatable with the recommendations being made by DOM Level 3.
