Release plans
I've checked a couple of proposals for upcoming releases into CVS, and have
appended them here for convenience.
Comments welcome.
Lisa.

I'm using it, not for anything major; but it would be a minor problem
for me if it disappeared completely.

Moving the serialization code into a sub-project is debatable
since so many users of Xerces use it directly *and*, as Elena
points out, it will be used by the DOM Level 3 LS module. So
I don't really care too much about this particular point
(besides the fact that I've wanted to redesign the serializers
for a long time).
But it seems that most everyone is agreement that the DOM
impls should be moved to their own sub-projects. However...
Since the HTML DOM code is related to and used by NekoHTML to
build HTML DOM documents, perhaps these two should be lumped
together as a single sub-project. So I propose the creation
of a new "xml-xerces-html" sub-project which will initially
contain the HTML DOM implementation and the NekoHTML parser.
As for the WML code: is anyone in the world using it? It
doesn't seem enough to warrant its own sub-project. Perhaps
it can just be moved out of the Xerces core project and
retired at the same time.
Thoughts?

It appears that at least a few people are using the WML DOM
implementation. So even if it's not retired, I do think that
we should move it to a separate sub-project. And it can be
in a "coma" (instead of "retired") from that location. :)

I'd like to see how far we can go with breaking out components. HTML
and WML should be separate.
At some point, I'd like to see us be able to build a SAX only parser and
a DOM only parser jar. We don't have to distribute Xerces that way, but
having ant build options that would let others build such configurations
would be useful.

I disagree with moving serialization code to a sub-project. This code is
used by DOM Level 3 Save implementation and since there are plans to
support DOM Level 3 I don't see how can we move the serialization code.
I don't have any strong opinion about HTML and WML DOMs.

Since we have a 2.x.0 point release coming up, do we want to
make *that* the time when we try to do the official split from
the Xerces core into the new sub-projects? For example, moving
the HTML and WML DOMs as well as serialization to their own
sub-project.
Since this would affect what was included in the distribution,
I thought I'd bring it up now.
