Paul,
 
I think it's a good idea to move jaxens dom4j implementation to the dom4j project. I've suggested this some time ago on the jaxen mailling lists, but I didn't get much response.
 
Remark that since dom4j version 1.5, jaxen classes are no longer included in the dom4j-* jars.
 
regards,
Maarten

Hi, All --

DOM4J and Jaxen have long had a circular dependency, and I hope I'm
not alone in thinking that this is a bad thing. The topic of "what
Jaxen version in dom4j" came up recently, and I've been personally
bitten by the dom4j JAR containing a version of Jaxen that was
incompatible with the Jaxen version that my code elsewhere was
expecting but where dom4j's version was taking precedence...

So, I would like to propose that we make dom4j depend honestly on Jaxen:

1) Jaxen is no longer bundled inside dom4j-*.jar
2) The Jaxen dom4j navigator moves inside the dom4j project.
3) dom4j explicitly calls out which version of Jaxen it depends on.

Thoughts?
