-1 for this.  Two reasons for that.

1. Am attaching a mail from Stefano which he sent out a while ago on the 
jakarta 
mailing list regarding packaging structure. Based on that till we have a place 
for all the common utilities to go I think it is a good idea to hold back to 
creating packages in subprojects. This issue has to be resolved for all apache 
related projects.

2. All the DOM nodes that are there in xerces  are specifically for xml and 
moving that into a org.apache.dom / org.apache.xml.dom would mean that if the 
dom nodes for HTML or any other DOM implementation were to be done by someone 
then again the package naming issue would arrise... So taking that into 
consideration it would be better to leave it in xerces.

P.S. A step aside just curious on how do you plan to use the DOM nodes in other 
applications???
