Hi Neeraj, +1 to putting the JAXP 1.3 sources on the main trunk, tagging it and making a branch for the old JAXP sources on the current main trunk.
There exists a branch called tck-jaxp-1_2_0 where fixes and other updates have been applied to the JAXP 1.2 sources. This is the branch we've used for generating the xml-apis.jar shipped with Xerces and Xalan. I assume a similar branch will exist for 1.3.
