These packages were defined in JDK 1.5 / JAXP 1.3 (JSR 206). In that
sense, they were in JDK since 1.5.
For reasons I don't know, they were excluded from the Java API
Documentation. From the tag conventions

[1], you may be right since it "Specify the product version when the
Java name was added to the API specification". But it can be confusing
to users since they've been using them since JDK 1.5

Related to JDK-8023276[1] where we added two packages to JDK 9, we
