It would be a nice project to do. If you do take it on then I think you'll need to survey the tests for javax.xml.transform and get some sense as to how well the XSLT compiler is tested. Maybe more tests are needed. A cautious approach would be to leave BCEL in place with a system probably or some means to go back to the old implementation until there is confidence that the replacement implementation is good. Also have a means to capture the generated classes from the old and new implementations might help on the confidence too.
