Hello:

I've done some [codec] work over the years and there are probably enough
little fixes for a minor release but I've not seen anything to motivate
me for a major release. 

Frankly, copying code from one project to another is not a motivation
for me and actually it is not something I want to promote. If I need
some functionality from one project, I use that project. I happen to use
both [codec] and [xml-security] at work, so, personally, I am not driven
to do anything about this issue.

What [codec] needs IMO is the ability to operate on streams and
readers/writers.
