Re: xml-commons-external-1.3.02

I really thought I replied earlier!  Yes, I would love to see a new 
release of xml-commons-external.  However, there are a couple of 
questions we need answered.  Anyone from the Xerces/Xalan teams want to 
chime in with the info, since they've done much of the maintenance in 
the past here?

- What are all the different branches of xml-commons-external code, and 
more importantly, what versions of DOM/SAX/JAXP are they each supposed 
to support?

- Who here has direct access to the appropriate JAXP 1.3 TCK and can run 
it on our code?  While it's slightly legally unclear to me if an 
xml-commons-external release itself must pass the TCK, we really need to 
know if it will pass or not.  (Given that xml-commons-external only 
includes the interfaces, and doesn't actually include an implementation 
of JAXP itself, I haven't studied if it has to independently pass the 
TCK, or if only implementers like Xerces/Xalan/etc have to pass the TCK 
itself.
