Following a chat with a fellow developer, the subject of my
donating mod_proxy_html to ASF arose again.  This would
(presumably) sit best as an HTTPD subproject in the manner
of mod_ftp, mod_fcgid, etc, so that it doesn't pull in
libxml2 as a dependency for httpd.

mod_xml2enc, which manages charsets for libxml2-based
modules including mod_proxy_html, would also be included
in the subproject.

I would of course relicense mod_proxy_html at the point
where it is donated.

The obvious advantage all round is that we get the benefit
of Apache infrastructure for collaborative development,
including patches such as those my correspondent has worked
on, and opening the way for others such as the derived
module mod_proxy_content[1] to collaborate more easily
rather than fork.

Any interest?
