Maybe we should start a new mailing list, xerces-j-design-dev just
dedicated to design discussions, so we can let other members of this
group to post and received proper attention to their questions without
being overwhelmed by the amount of discussions this topic is creating.

A +1 for creating a new mail discussion list.

+1 on creating a xerces-j-users mailing list.

Also, a few ideas on the new parser implementation. I like the 
modularity Duncan proposed. You might consider making the pluggable 
validation more of a configurable pipeline so multiple validators can 
be inserted, or even other operations could be inserted as modules in 
the pipeline. One example I can think which could be implemented as a 
module in the pipeline is entity expansion.

Another idea (this one's out there... I know) is to have some kind of 
listener support available in the DOM implementation. For example, if 
I have a UI presentation of a DOM tree, say in a JTree, and something 
else manipulates the DOM in memory, an event would be fired off to 
listeners registered with the Document or individual elements 
notifying them of the change. This idea may apply better to something 
like JDOM rather than Xerces, but I just thought I'd throw it out as 
it might spark ideas in the modularity design.

Probably a xerces-j-users /xerces-j-devel would be a better organization. 
Right now the devel mailing list seems to be more user support then
devel.

But of course, a separation of devel and user mails would help a lot - we
had the same problem in tomcat and tomcat-user was great.
