Cool, I think we should share those errors with the maven team. They usually don't accept to patch meta-data, but when it is invalid XML I think they would accept.
Concerning the comparision with the maven resultion I started a few month ago (during javapolis) to write some tests to compare transitive dependencies. I tested it on a local repository (very small), but I found some differences. That resulted in a few jira tickets that have been fixed in 2.0-beta2. (I also found some strange behavior in maven). I plan to relaunch this comparison as soon as I find some free time (that will not happen soon :-( ). By the way, I'm interrested to know how you did this scan. Did you have a pom respository easily accessible or did you run that via internet?
