org.apache.xnode implies (?) that xnode is an apache sub-project,

Not really, it might suggest it but it's not always like this (think
org.apache.xpath).
the xindicex came from my idea to have a package separation between
the core modules and the extensions ('x'). But it looks like
everything will come under xindice.
The idea might be good, but I dislike the "xindicex" naming (though I
understand that it's a quite standard way to name extensions). :-) I'd
rather have o.a.x.extensions, o.a.x.components, o.a.x.modules,
o.a.x.plugins or some other clever name we might come up with.
To some degree obviously this isn't that big an issue, but as I
mentioned, the reason I chose to create org.apache.xnode.* was
that XNode isn't actually a subproject of Xindice, i.e., it doesn't
rely on Xindice and was actually developed when things were still
dbXML, and could be used with dbXML or perhaps even XMLDB. Heck,
it's possible it could be used outside of the entire database
world as simply a SOAP-like wrapper for XML content. Again, the
background for this comes from Lee Iverson's NODAL project, with
the idea of a core "node" for content.
