I would like to -0 this, or maybe even -1.

I would agree if org.w3c.dom.xpath were an existing recommendation, and
this round was a version that altered existing interfaces.  But this API is
at Last Call (I think it is there... see
http://www.w3.org/2002/03/DOM-Level-3-XPath-issues/all.html), and they want
to move it to "Candidate Recommendation" status (see
http://www.w3.org/TR/#About).  It makes more sense to me to just use
org.w3c.dom.xpath, and we want to stress that we are implementing these
interfaces.

I think you should delete your "copied" interfaces (
org.apache.xalan.dom3.xpath), and use org.w3c.dom.xpath.  It will encourage
people to use them, which we very much want.  Just include some sort of
disclaimer in the files that will get included in the javadoc, until the
interfaces are at official recommendation status.

At the time that xml-commons decides that org.w3c.dom.xpath is ready for
prime time, we delete our copy... should be no big deal.

Ok.  Well, if I don't hear any -1's by Friday, I will go ahead and remove
the org.w3c.dom.xpath package.

Thanks,
   Ilene.

Here's my
+1 vote to remove these files from source.

Indeed, we should be using re-named ones currently until it's an
official  rec; also we should definitely try to move these (interfaces)
into the xml-commons project when that happens and coordinate with
other projects who might want to use it, especially Xerces-J.
