I see. I guess it never occurred to us, but now that you mentioned it,
it could have been a library on its own.
We can have a spin-off library that does just that, but I think at this
point it's fairly difficult for the JAX-WS RI to switch to using that
library, because this is a part of the externally visible API, and a lot
of code has already been written internally/externally to rely on it. A
package name change would be disastrous.
