Can you please call it xerces-j3 please?

It is a really sensitive piece, and we have to install a very specific 
one for the AppServer (jbossas) or regressions are seen in the 
compliance tests.

If you call it xerces-j3 we can install the xerces-j2 in parallel.

P.S.: A bit of history: the '2' in xerces-j2 was added in 2004 so we 
could keep  xerces-j  (1.3.1).  Similar reasons.
