One other thing that would be a nice about a move to Java 2 is the use
of collections. Right now from looking at the Xerces source, I can see
dozens of re-implementations of various types of lists, hash tables and
sets all with slightly differently named methods. Is Java 1.1
compatibility all that important these days?

Every time the Xalan developers ask about abandoning Java 1.1, we're told 
"That'd be fine with the developers, but their _customers_ refuse to 
upgrade and since the goal is to serve the customers... we're sorta 
stuck."

At some point, Apache as a whole has to make the decision to abandon 1.1. 
I don't think anything but a clean across-the-board break will motivate 
customers to cross that barrier.
