JAXP sources came from Apache that still supports JDK 1.4. A very
large amount of code therefore are obsolete with regards to the source
level. But it's not currently a high priority. We can clean them up
(along with many improvement) when we touch those classes for bug
fixes or update relevant component.

I assume Otávio is looking to contribute the changes to OpenJDK rather
than the defunct JAXP project. But perhaps your concern is changing the
Xerces and Xalan code so that it diverges from the upstream sources? I
assume there isn't any issue with switching the JAXP API and other
non-Apache code to use StringBuilder.
