Axiom and Axis2 require Java 1.5 and can therefore safely rely on the presence of a DOM parser in the JRE (which BTW is based on Xerces in both Sun and IBM JREs). There is no need for any additional dependency on Xerces. This has nothing to do with quality concerns about Xerces. XmlSchema and the schema support in Xerces cover different use cases. Schema support in Xerces is about validating XML documents with respect to a given schema, while XmlSchema is about manipulating (loading, creating, modifying and saving) schema documents.
