This is a follow-up email. I know at least one person on this list
expressed some small interest in the port.
So I wanted to check to see if anyone had any feedback on our port, or
feedback that they just hadn't gotten around to writing in an email.

You might have noticed the addition of:

to the "Apache Extras" hosted site.
This project aims to be a fully compatible port of the existing XML
Security APIs that works using the GenXDM APIs that we've been
developing, instead of DOM. We brought the GenXDM project
<http://code.google.com/p/genxdm/> to the attention of the Apache
Incubator some time back (we called in gXML at the time
<http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/gXMLProposal>).
Our overall aim is to bring GenXDM back to Apache for incubation, so
that ports of libraries like XML Security can then build on top of the
capabilities of GenXDM. To that end, we've done this particular port
to attract interest, and to prove out the potential, and the capabilities.
We have, with this port, demonstrated the ability to use the full
functionality of the XML Security library over non-DOM XML trees,
including a new set of tests that verify using non-DOM trees with the
updated XML Security APIs.
Please come look at what we've got! Let us know what you think.
Better yet, join the GenXDM project, and help us make it a success!
