Hi, Based on the info below I propose we name the package 'xml-common'. And guess what? That appears to be name that RH is using too. Another possibility is 'xml-core'.
They also use 'sgml-common' where we use 'sgml-base' (but that's another discussion). Also the number of 'foo-common' packages is larger (123) than the number of 'foo-base' packages (42, :-)) (yeah, like that's the kind of guidance we need ;-).
