Actually I believe that Guillaume is not just asking to change the
soname, but to not make *any* ABI changes unless you change the MAJOR
VERSION number. This has never happened in Xerces, the ABI changes
every minor version change, and even in some sub_version changes, for
example between 1.5.1 and 1.5.2.

If you agree to not change the ABI, then you would have to release
Xerces 2.0, 3.0, etc if you do. 

Is this a correct statement of what you were asking Guillaume?

Cheers,
jas.
