Joe, was there anything else along these lines that wasn't transitioned
for this (or any other) reason? I'm wondering if a subproject at
http://struts.sourceforge.net might be in order for such "orphans"?

JasperReports (http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net) is an xml schema

are jasperreports has a crystal-report-style visual editor. Jasper has
been out ther for a long time and they haven't get iText support
(well, they haven't merged iText). It's license is LGPL. I just tell
this because maybe you (Frank) should think about moving to
JasperReports before your XML schema grows too big. Feel free to mail
me asking questions, I've been developing with Jasper (and hacking it
as well) for over two years.
WebWork has a Jasper result[1]. It was not transitioned to Struts
Action 2 because of the licensing issue. The code should be readily
adaptable for those who want to use it, and perhaps it could be kept
alive either as part of Jasper Reports' development, or in a SourceForge
project that can tolerate the license entanglements that Apache projects
have to avoid.
