As someone said on this list a while ago, making xerces incompatible with jdk1.1 puts a whole bunch of folks in the microsoft world out of luck with xerces. That itself seems a good reason to keep it.

Maybe I am wrong. If IE is the only / primary reason, the question to ask is how many folks use Xerces within an applet. Perhaps they can use the Java plug in. I would support dropping JDK 1.1 support, as migrating to Java 2 would have some significant benefits. Use of the Collections api's and resulting performance gains being one of them. Regards...
