I'm well aware of the drawbacks of dropping Castor, I just want to have a better

Not exactly, see the issue with the ordering of children in PortletSetFactory...

If I have checked corrctly, you can't define independently 2 XMLSchemas
to create 2 APIs and them mix these in a composite document using namespaces.
If you have to define the "external namespace" inside your main schema, you've
gained nothing by using namespaces.

Sure. But to argue we need implementations to bench...

but we will gain the ability to integrate directly into a cocoon processing
pipeline.
Currently, I'm not arguing to switch over to SAX2 or JDOM, simply that the
drawbacks of Castor are important enough to warrant a try with these APIs.
