Hear, hear. That's a _lot_ of contribution effort; anything that discourages it 
would be a Bad Thing.

VLSI, it may be a language issue, but you're coming on damned strong for an 
infrequent contributor. Please consider backing off if you want to be taken 
seriously as a member of the team. You need to learn to phrase things as polite 
suggestions and requests, and you need to accept that nothing is ever done 
exactly "by the book". Guidelines are only guidelines. Best practice is not 
always practical.

The primary goal here is to improve Xalan; improving its documentation is also 
important but secondary, and improving its _history_ documentation is a distant 
tertiary.


If you want to convince folks, the best way to do so is to set an example, not 
brow-beat. Start submitting some nontrivial debugging or functionality done the 
way you prefer, show us that it makes a serious difference, and you may get a 
better reception.

   I think @mukulga is doing a great job and should be free to keep working as 
he best sees fit.
