Yes, that's a good idea. Most of that stuff is available in Commons Codec, which will also be used by Commons Httpclient. Furthermore, I think the client library actually uses only a small subset of the classes left in org.apache.util, so most of that could be eliminated anyway. The most heavily used parts are for sure the XMLPrinter and the DOMUtils. Now that Daniel (was it him?) has introduced a dependency on JDOM, I wonder if we could replace the use of these classes by their JDOM equivalents. However I would like to hear other opinions on this as I have no experience with JDOM myself.
