Is there a strong requirement that JAXP code in 9 be globally easy to backport

There shouldn't be. The last MR of JSR 206 announced its end as a
standalone JSR. Assuming it gets subsumed in the platform JSR then it
means it no longer needs to lead a double life. Furthermore, the build
changes in JEP 220 mean it no longer needs to be compiled with the boot
JDK. So new issue introducing new API or implementation that makes use
of new Java Language features or APIs.
