Hi,

I would prefer c) but keeping the package names and only change the artifact 
groupid,
to keep it's proprietary usage for POI. So we don't need to care to build up a 
xmlbeans
community again.

I think d) is a longterm goal - to simulate xmlbeans xml infoset preservation 
plus
support various ECMA versions plus handling alternate content blocks correctly
will be a challenge in a brown field context.
Therefore we should first fix xmlbeans.
