The board resolution I proposed described Xerces as charged with 
responsibility for the "creation and maintenance of open-source software 
related to XML parsers".

So I would imagine the notion of sub-elements of code within the TLP 
would be just as high level.  A sub-project would simply be a section of 
  code with a community that looked at some element of XML parsing.

Does that make sense?  (Is XML parsing too confined?)
