The discussion is about providing a simple, effective
C++ interface for navigating and manipulating XML
document trees.  Parsing will be left to the backend
library of the user's choice.

The Apache Software License, under which Xerces is
distributed, has more restrictive terms than the Boost
Software License.  This turns off quite a few people
from using it, myself included.
