Good comments all around (well, the few of us here!).  My only suggestion 
about versioning is to think about your clients - Xerces and Xalan, among 
others.  If they primarily can drop-in our newly refactored resolver with 
no or minimal updates to the existing API's they'd likely use, then keep 
it on the trunk and call it 1.x.  If the existing public API is 
significantly changing, then this needs to be a 2.x product, and we should 
at least tag the sources before you do major new work, so we could later 
create a branch from that tag to do a maintenance 1.x release later (which 
is unlikely for this component, but it's always nice to be able to go 
back).

Note that when xml-commons moves to Subversion we'll need to double-check 
that branches/tags/history is imported, since this project has several 
critical branches in regular use (mainly in external).

Yay Norm!
