I noticed MicroXML has meen mentioned a few times in this thread, but frankly not in an interesting way until...

One of the reasons for the 'hackable xml' idea that eventually

haven't seen any simplified apis.  I must admit I tried and failed to
come up with anything better that what's out there already... perhaps
it's just not possible in Java.

Andrew, how about starting with XOM and simplifying as necessary (e.g. removing all namespacisms)?


Surely that would be hugely simpler than JAXP?
