That is right Michael. I had actually started writing
a response wondering the same.

There are various products at xml-commons. Should they
all share the same NOTICE file. Anyway, we will start
with one and perhaps later we can split it.

I will start a NOTICE file at the top-level and people
can add as they see fit.

Norm can you please move to that. 

See an example file at
http://www.apache.org/licenses/example-NOTICE.txt

How should this file be used? At Apache Forrest we have
only been adding to it when licensing conditions of the
supporting product require attribution.
