In the case of jars, many/most carry version information in their
manifest.  I'm aware of your views on versioning via the filename; I've
seen it work both ways (and I've seen the pain caused both ways), so I'm
essentially agnostic on that.

That would be me.  Or, more accurately, you taking the file from me.

No, it's because SPWS uses a JAXB-produced parser and therefore I passed
the JWSDP libraries to you.  I suspect it will be faster to remove the
dependency on Sun's custom Xalan from SPWS than it will be to ensure
that future uses of Xalan in the rest of Bodington are compatible with
Sun's bastardised version.
