Every time the Xalan developers ask about abandoning Java 1.1, we're told 
"That'd be fine with the developers, but their _customers_ refuse to 
upgrade and since the goal is to serve the customers... we're sorta 
stuck."

At some point, Apache as a whole has to make the decision to abandon 1.1. 
I don't think anything but a clean across-the-board break will motivate 
customers to cross that barrier.
