A poll: maybe. Abandoning 1.3: Not yet.
If the usage of those hash maps is only in a few places, we could
provide JDK dependent code and tell people that FOP runs faster
on JDK 1.5.

FOP should run markedly faster on 1.6 without any changes. Just about
everything else does.

Did you mean 1.4 here? I thought we had all agreed to drop support for 
1.3 now? I have long argued that we maintain support for it due to the 
length of time it takes for more recent JDKs to become available for 
ancient o/s which large organisations tend to use to run their batch 
processes on. AFICT, 98% of all o/s can now support 1.4, but not yet 1.5 
so we shouldn't drop support for 1.4 for a while yet but I think its 
safe to drop 1.3 support.
