Re: Donation of JAXP 1.3 Sources to Apache

Hmmm...  I'm presuming we'll get JAXP 1.3 checked in and then have 
Xerces/Xalan evaluate to form a plan on when/how they want to upgrade to 
supporting these new interfaces.  They're currently supporting the 
checked-in JAXP 1.2 version code, with some spot improvements, now.

Basically, it's a new version of JAXP, which encompasses DOM & SAX plus 
the factory mechanisims for parsers/transformers, etc.  Notable updates 
include (much of?) DOM level 3, SAX 2.0.2, and a host of minor changes 
as well as other nifty new functionality.

Obviously we'll need to branch somewhere (anyone ready for SVN yet?) so 
we can support legacy JAXP 1.2 work as well as new JAXP 1.3 work.
