WRT the cleanup you mean? Perhaps. In general, that is by far not the
main remaining item. In terms of making the branch release-ready, the
main pending item is re-writing the parser so we can eliminate the
[digester] and therefore [beanutils] dependencies in this branch.
While its not trivial, the task shouldn't be too hard either given
cycles (perhaps using javax.xml.stream, others ideas welcome too). The
good thing is that this piece of work doesn't require an intricate
understanding of SCXML, since we merely need to populate the Commons
SCXML object model -- the oacs.model package -- with the fairly
obvious mappings from SCXML schema.

WRT action items, the BRANCHINFO file is kept fairly upto date. I made
some minor tweaks minutes ago:

Yup.

Yes (ofcourse running the tests will tell us if we have any old school
documents left behind).

Both methods just need to be blown away, and the corresponding code in
serializeTransition() can be removed. Basically it means we used to
allow such markup before:

<transition ...>
    <target>
    ...
    </target>
</transition>

Now we don't.

Yup, not important anymore.
