  ''Comments:''
   * dkulp:  Also add tcpmon to WS-Commons - seems to be fairly actively 
maintained.  (At least I see a bunch of commits recently, which is a good thing)
+  * veithen: I agree with the overall proposal, but I'm against keeping the 
name "WS-Commons" for the new TLP. The main reasons is that as noted below, 
Axiom and XmlSchema have potential for growth, but for this to happen, we need 
to make it clear to potential users that these projects are not strictly Web 
Service related, but have a larger scope. I like the proposal to brand this TLP 
as "Axiom" as proposed in "Split it #2", but of course my opinion is a bit 
biased. In addition, I would like to propose two new subprojects that would 
naturally fit into the new TLP, but which are also not strictly Web Service 
related:
+    * I noticed that in the various WS related projects (Axis2, Synapse, CXF, 
etc.), there is lot of code implemented to satisfy specific needs when working 
with StAX (utility classes, XMLStreamReader/Writer wrappers, code that bridges 
between StAX and SAX/DOM, etc.). I think it would be a good idea to create a 
new project that centralizes this kind of code so that it can be reused across 
the different projects. The aim of the project would be to become _the_ place 
to look for StAX-related utilities and the focus would be on delivering code 
that is well documented, having a well-defined behavior and that is thoroughly 
tested. The project would also have the potential to increase the interaction 
between members of the different communities.
+    * I'm not sure if that is reasonable, but it might be interesting to move 
(parts of) the ADB code out of Axis2 into a separate project, so that this 
databinding framework becomes available for use cases not related to Axis2 (or 
Web Services in general). If we can increase the user base of ADB, in the end 
this would also be beneficial for Axis2. Note that if we call the TLP "Axiom", 
then we even don't need to change the acronym...
