Xerces and Xalan dependency

Dear All,

as we abandon the support for legacy JDK versions, we could also consider
removing some FOP dependencies, especially Xerces and Xalan, which
functionality is bundled in JDK.

What do you think?

But the Xalan in the JDK is xsltc only, right?  Does that matter to FOP?

Yes that seems reasonable to me.
