I do not think there is any reluctancy to change in the XML:DB group. My feel is that the commiters are very busy with other stuff and as a result sometimes issues gets lost.
That's also my impression. I think that Lars agreed to introduce a new method 'public String[] getName()' and deprecate 'public String getName()' but the code of yesterday doesn't contain this modification.
alternatively find a solution that works for everyone...
I think that the best solution is simply for xmldb to support xalan-2.4.1 and make the tests pass (some tests fail with a fresh checkout of xmldb).
Do you have some time over the week-end to fix this (I'll try to find some time to help, too)
