In regards to XMLBeans replacement, I naturally prefer to use JAXB which

Unless it poses some limitations on what POI needs.
We have the XMLBeans objects leaking through the API in various
places, and a whole bunch of our users needing that to do what they
do. Much as I'd love all of those people to instead submit a patch to
POI which wraps that functionality up in a nice usermodel interface
with the xml handling stuff hidden inside, I just can't see most of
them bothering. Unless we could get JAXB to be binary compatible with
XMLBeans, I can't see us being able to switch it because it'd just
break too much downstream
I think JAXB would make life quite a bit easier for me, and easier for
other to make patches.
However I think you (Nick) are entirely right that it would be too much
of a change now - I think the only way that would work would be to have
a new JAXB library alongside [S]XSSF.
