Re: purpose of Apache XML Commons project

<insert attempted humor here>

I'm happy to have xml-commons be the home for clearly useful xml-related 
utilities, even if there aren't other existing XML projects (or parts of 
the federation) that use it currently.  Originally, I was concerned about 
having too much activity and not being able to handle it well - I figured 
any wild ideas we could push over to Jakarta commons.  8-)

But it would be nice to have more participation in xml-commons and on the 
commons-dev list, to discuss both the DOM/SAX/JAXP interfaces that many of 
us rely on, as well as any additional XML-related utilities we can collect.

figuring out new job...)
