Personally, I would prefer to see it the other way around.  I would
much prefer a trusted member of the community to any institution I can
think of. An XML-DEV SourceForge project with some trusted member as
leader might be a compromise solution, but of course still requires
that leader to be found.

While their technical competence is indisputable, Tom Passin echoed my
personal concerns about them almost perfectly.

David Brownell would be my choice, provided he's willing to do it.  

If no individual can be found, I agree that the Apache Foundation is
probably the best organization to do it.
