This is all true. Because I had offered back then to take the initiative on making it an independent project, I should update to say that I regretfully will not be able to do so. This is not because of lack of interest, but lack of time. In the time I have for such open spec work, I have outstanding commitments to help with EXSLT and XUpdate. I just despair of getting around to XBEL. If someone else spearheads the effort (I think it's mostly just a matter of registering with SourceForge), I'll try to help where I can, including with publicity.
