I've taken a glance at all the legal information that is around. Here
are my findings:

- NOTICE should be updated to conform to 
http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html
The second paragraph should be ("at" instead of "by"):
This product includes software developed at
The Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/).

- The license for pdf-transcoder.jar is still 1.1, but should be 2.0.

- I think it would be good to note in the readme for pdf-transcoder.jar
that it was derived from the FOP 0.90alpha1 release. This is otherwise
not apparent, only when you go checking the SVN log:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/xmlgraphics/batik/trunk/lib/pdf-transcoder.jar?view=log

- The license info should always indicate the right license version.
"Apache License" is not enough. Please check all the readme files in lib.

- xml-stylebook and crimson are ALv1.1, not 2.0 (as implied by pointing
to LICENSE in the root directory). Better just list the ALv1.1.

- The README for xml-stylebook should point to 
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/xml/stylebook/trunk/

Cameron, would it make sense to create a branch for Batik with the goal
of finishing the integration of XML Graphics Commons (irrespective of
the Batik release)? That way I don't have to redo the adjustments you
had to make and therefore I can more easily help you figure out what
going wrong. Finally, are the problems apparent in any case or are there
only special cases where the problem shows? Which are those? Thanks!
