StAX is not actually part of JAXP per se, but I have added user 
documentation for system parameters and so forth in README.jaxp, see 
below.

I think it would be better to put it (javax.xml.stream and 
gnu.xml.stream) in standard.omit in the release because it has not been 
tested yet, I've only had time to do a few basic unit tests. This 
situation will be remedied during next week.

I committed the following patch for the StAX work:

2005-09-04  Chris Burdess  <address@hidden>

        * doc/README.jaxp: Updated JAXP documentation for StAX.
        * javax/xml/stream/XMLEventFactory.java,
        javax/xml/stream/XMLInputFactory.java,
        javax/xml/stream/XMLOutputFactory.java: Use GNU implementation 
by
        default.
