In this context I have a question: how many Java developers are reading this mail and would be potentially interested in participating in an open-source project centered around Java/XML? Basically we are considering releasing some of our internal code as OSS and it would be great to get a feeling for how many qualified people would at least consider investing time in such a project. As someone pointed out when this list started discussing XSchema, the SAX project was successful because there were commitments from the very start from application developers to implement the interface when completed. A concrete implementation of a extensible architecture for XML processing (Im being intentionally vague) would presumably be a great help in testing new ideas and even creating usable code, be if for alternative schema approaches, namespace-aware validation or whatever. But we only want to do this if there is sufficient potential interest in the developer community. If anyone wants more details, please send me a private mail and I will send you a short summary of our current system and our future plans for it.
