Interesting. What is the XML PMC group for? As a Cocoon committer I  
recall having commit privs on xml years ago. I don't believe we do  
anymore though. At least, http://people.apache.org/~jim/ 
committers.html doesn't reflect it.  I suspect there is some cocoon  
stuff that really should find a home here eventually as well.
