It's open source, so "halting" development work is a nebulous concept.
Right now, Xalan-J 1.x is slightly more conformant than 2.x. Actually,
2.x doesn't really claim to be in Beta yet. If people devise patches
for 1.x, we may still take the time to incorporate them. I'd think
that 2.x could overtake 1.x in a couple months' time, and then you'd
really see very little talk about 1.x. Others may have a different
view of what will happen.

i've got some bugs for the version of xalan 1.2.x I've got.

1. What is the right forum for posting bugs for xalan (of whatever
vintage)?
2. Is there any real point posting bugs for xalan 1.x?
3. Is there any real point posting fixes for bugs for xalan 1.x
(supposing that I get annoyed enough to fix them myself)?

PS. i will be downloading the latest version soon...

thanks
