XRI -- it contains the xerces name, and *doesn't* contain a version number.
It'll be ready when it's ready and then it can get a number.

I'm +1 on XRI.  This is not a -1 on Xerces 2. Consider it a -0
on Xerces2.

Heres why:

1) It's not clear to me what the outcome of this little experiment 
will be, and I don't want to commit to something that will fizzle out.
By saying Xerces 2 we are making a commitment, that I am 
not prepared to make.  I want some time to experiment.  I don't want
to be committed for a version numbered release.  I want the freedom
to throw all the results of this effort away if they don't work out.  To
me, that's not Xerces 2. 

2) There's already a xerces_2 branch in CVS, which was initiated 
independently of the current requirements effort.  I don't want to 
stop the work on that branch while we work out a new set of 
requirements.  This is Xerces 2.

Well, I'm definitly outnumbered here, so for the sake of just getting on
with it, I'll moderate to -0 (with comment) and just go with it.

True but code names have a way of creeping into the code. Plus,
we'll stay in line with the Xalan folks. Their redesign is 
Xalan 2 (not XRI: Xalan Refactoring Initiative ;).
