It's not really technical, more a copyright issue. GNU JAXP sources 
are not assigned to FSF yet. That was the reason to say: we don't 
want it yet. But as its the same license as libgcj we should consider 
merging it. What do others think now ? We have all in libgcj that GNU 
jaxp needs and its easy to merge. Can we get a new decission now ?
I'm willing to provide a patch if it gets a chance to be included.
