   * Transports are only ever used in an Axis2 environment.
   * Other projects (i.e. Abdera) use Axiom
   * Other projects (i.e. CXF) use XmlSchema

+ === Notes on XML Schema ===
+ 
+ While CXF (and and presumably Axis) depend on XmlSchema, the committer 
community is tiny. The combination of it with the other commons items doesn't 
help very much in achieving critical mass, since the subject matter is so 
disparate. Given the apparent push toward taking release votes more seriously, 
this is a matter of real concern. Maybe it can be addressed in the proposal(s) 
below by actively recruiting more interested parties to the relevant PMC. Or, 
maybe CXF would make a better home, insofar as there is active work at CXF that 
depends on ongoing maintenance and improvement of Xml Schema. Another 
possibility is Xerces. After all, W3C XML Schema is not uniquely, or even 
primarily, a web service technology. I had a recent discussion with the 
Xerces-dev community. Initially, the reaction was to express distress that 
XmlSchema had ever been invented, insofar as it was 'just another' package that 
solved problems addressed elsewhere. However, further exploration revealed tha
 t the code inside Xerces (not to mention stuff over at dev.java.net) doesn't 
address the same use cases as XmlSchema does. Thus, more discussion might come 
up with a plan to push XmlSchema in with the rest of ASF's XML universe.
