Hi Richard,
   We want to use ICU components in PsychoPath. In community, Xerces
is currently the major consumer of PsychoPath. From Xerces's point of
view, I agree that PsychoPath (plus ICU components in it) must ideally
compile with JDK 1.3.

PsychoPath still would have usage beyond Xerces as well, as it's an
independent Eclipse project. Currently, PsychoPath is compiled with
JDK 1.5, and we plan to port it to JDK 1.4 in future. PsychoPath
project as such currently, doesn't want to have PsychoPath project
work on JDK 1.3 level (this has been discusses also on this list
recently).

Xerces users, who want to use advanced PsychoPath functionality (like
better normalization, and collation), need to work at higher JDK
levels, it seems at moment, perhaps JDK 1.5.

We can have an effort, from Xerces team (i am willing to invest time
on it. but it's not a trivial effort) to port PsychoPath on JDK 1.3.
But as suggested by Michael, on this list some time ago, Xerces users,
who need better XPath 2.0 compliance, can download the latest
PsychoPath release from www.eclipse.org.
Apache Xerces SVN repository already has, a JDK 1.3 compliant
PsychoPath JAR, which is fairly nicely compliant to XPath 2.0.
