I support that. And maybe src/external for the W3C sources if the way
through XML Commons is not doable.

How about not bundling Ant anymore? This is considered best practice. At
least I've read that somewhere a long time ago but I can't find the
reference. Since everyone in the Java world has Ant installed by now and
we didn't experience anything bad when we removed Ant in FOP, you can
cut back on the distribution size like that. XML Graphics Commons also
doesn't bundle Ant.

And what about the switch to Forrest? How far is that?
