I care about MBeans, but we can keep the current situation as 
stable and copy xerces, xalan, etc in common/ for mx experiments.

It is needed - for experiments and to enahance the module. Right
now it's not very usefull without ability to save and with the
limited visibility ( i.e. very few info is available ).

As we implement the proposed JNDI/JMX config ( for 5.0 - but will work
with any tomcat in the same way ) - MxInterceptor will become essential
( for 3.x ). However when we implement the new coyote hooks, if all goes
as planned ( and Interceptor/Valve will be particular cases of the new
hooks ) then MxInteceptor will not be needed.

That's possible - but given 5.0 I think it would be waste of time.
