Obviously for an official answer, you'd need to ask the IBM XML parser
team.  

Unofficially, they're sort-of involved.  Long ago in the mists of time
(a year or two back) xml.apache.org got formed - primarily from the
donation of some useful XML-related products by external companies to
Apache to help get the whole group started.

IBM's original XML4J parser 3.x family was donated to Apache, and
became the Xerces-J parser 1.x family.  IBM will probably continue to
ship XML4J builds in the future that are closely based on Apache's
Xerces builds. Lotus' LotusXSL XSLT transformer was also donated to
apache, and became the Xalan-J transformer.  Other projects were
donated too, like Sun's Project X parser, which became Apache's Crimson
parser.

Xalan by default uses the Xerces-J 1.x parser today, although we will
work with any JAXP-compliant parser; we often test with Xerces 2.x and
with Crimson.
