Another slightly odd looking thing is to have
org.apache.commons.sanselan.common as a package. There is also a util
packages. I wonder I this stuff can be moved around in some way that
looks and feels less scattered.

Op Ed:
On a different tak, personally, I've never liked sanselan as a package
in the [commons] universe. I want to just see org.apache.commons.image
or some such. Just like we have .io, .lang, .net, and so on. All
commons packages are functional IIRC, not some goofy name.
