I think, I'll find writing Xalan-J XSL 3 specific code changes myself in
java.xml module of openjdk useful. Xalan-J XSL 3 code has also required few
changes to be made within, Xerces-J code as well (I think to support XPath
3.1 function implementation for fn:deep-equal, specifically for support of
collation uris).

How should I start modifying openjdk's java.xml code? Do I need to require
building openjdk also to verify that nothing has gone wrong, after
modifying java.xml's code locally? Is it possible you may point me to
correct documentation for building openjdk?

Another approach I think may be to have me modify openjdk java.xml's code
locally and open a pull request for you all to verify and merge.

Any thoughts please?

Regards,
Mukul
