Gopal, thanks yes, everything is clear. We will have to wait until Sun decides to drop Crimson in favor of Xerces 2 as its implementation. As I understand, Crimson is no longer actively being developed.

But, the question is: Is there any mention about the name *Xerces* ? No, per statement given by you. BTW, Crimson is also an Apache software which -- i think -- confused you. Xalan version you mentioned correctly. It's 2.2-D11 to be accurate in both Jdk 1.4.0 and 1.4.1. Hope, It's clear.
