More specifically, with respect to the exit criteria:
Replacement of LGPL Piccolo parser with Xerces.
I will be creating a late-bound (reflection) relationship with Piccolo which will not
require Piccolo to be present at compile time (to not break existing functionality).
In lieu of Piccolo, I will be fetching a SAX parser from
javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory.
We have modified Piccolo to return line number information for the start of tokens as
opposed to the end of the tokens. Also, there are a number of bug fixes and
performance enhancements we have applied to Piccolo.

Subject: Proposal for xml-bean exit criteria
Hi folks,
Steven rightly pointed out that we are lacking a firm set of exit
criteria, so
I'm going to take a stab at it. I didn't find a set for either Tapestry
or Lenya, so
I"m just making this up (I did find criteria for entering the incubator,
though).
If I messed the prior art, I trust some of the incubator folks to set
the record
straight. These are just my ideas, feel free to poke holes. These
criteria need
to be acceptable to the XMLBeans committers, the XML PMC, and the Incubator
PMC.
Legal (these should be done before code comes into the incubator, but
I'm including them for completeness)
All code ASL'ed
No non ASL or ASL compatbile dependencies in the code base
License grant complate
CLAs on file.
Meritocracy / Community
Demonstrate an active and diverse development community
No single organization supplies more than 50% of the active committers
The above implies that new committers are admitted according to ASF
practices
ASF style voting has been adopted and is standard practice
Demonstrate ability to tolerate and resolve conflict within the
community.
Release plans are developed and excuted in public by the community.
(requriment on minimum number of such releases?)
Engagement by the XMLbeans community with the XML PMC and other ASF
sub communities, particularly infrastructure@ (this reflects my personal
bias that projects should pay an infrastructure "tax").
Alignment / Synergy
Replacement of LGPL Piccolo parser with Xerces.
Develop synergistic relationship with JaxMe in WS-Commons, also
perhaps with Axis.
Use of any relevant Jakarta subprojects.
Infrastructure
project has a subsite of xml.apache.org
project complies with ASF mirroring guidlines
project is integrated with Gump
XMLBeans developers tied into ASF PGP web of trust
Releases are PGP signed by a member of the community
