If you can put together a build file that runs tests under junit with
source coming from public SVN or CVS repositories, XML test docs from
wherever, I can get it added to apache gump's nightly build, so
running against the latest versions of stax and Xom.

Gump has a packaged version of stax:
http://vmgump.apache.org/gump/public/stax/stax/index.html

but no sign of Woodstox or other impls. It would be good to get them
on board as gump builds would keep regressions under control...
