Unless license restrictions get in the way, I'd rather move them
to src/java/org/apache/fop/*

Difficult. I'd thought of docs/tutorial first, but probably
it should be src/xdocs/tutorial...

Okay, for the servlet. I wasn't thinking of that.

Well for the extension examples. If someone wants to write their own
extension, they get the directory then change the source code and a few
other things and it is ready.
If it is in the source tree (including the META-INF) it could make it
much more difficult for someone to start with.

Granted for plan and mathml, but the servlet sees real use, and
getting it built easily may be in order.
In either case I personally expect source which can be of real use
in the src tree rather than anywhere else, and I don't think it
matters much if the written documentation points to examples/something
or src/java/org/something/else, as long as it is distributed with the
binary distro, and this shouldn't be too hard to arrange.

One of the purposes that these serve is to demonstrate how to write an
extension and for FOP to pick it up in the classpath. This might take
away that.
