For that to happen, you would need someone actively working on it.
My understanding that this would be a major undertaking.
So you'd need to find someone who has time & interest to take such an
undertaking. Perhaps someone with an itch to scratch...

Does fairly strong business mean that you would actually be able to support
such an effort (financially, by having someone work on it or so)?
I would also be interested in hearing what "IP" concerns you are thinking.
I wasn't aware of significant differences between Xalan and Saxon in this
regard. In fact, given that you can get a commercial license for Saxon, most
companies would think Saxon might be a safer option in this regard.
