Digging around in docs-build via Mikes recent thread reminded me of all this.

Christophe, any interest/cycles to revisit?  It might be nice to move
up before this analysis ages too much.

My thought to proceed after reviewing the thread: Should we
collaborate on a new docs-build w/  java8 min, external ant, saxon,
old jars removed, and minimal patch to style/ included?  I think this
keeps us out of anyones way just trying to build and check in xforms.
