FYI... I've been doing some testing with Axiom 1.2 and a couple of Stax implementations beyond the Woodstox and Stax Ref. Impl. So far it looks like we can move to Axiom 1.2 with little problem. Some minor classpath differences but not a lot. I'll likely move the trunk up to 1.2 within the next week or so.
The stax picture is not as rosy. There is significant inconsistency across Stax implementations. Fortunately, I've been able to determine that there is some special way of writing the code that will generally allow stuff to function consistently across the various implementations. Unfortunately, I don't quite know all the magic incantations yet. I'll be working on this a bit over the next week so expect some checkins. - James
