Yes, I think this is the right approach to make bug queries easier; "Is 
this bug fixed in the jaxp in JDK 7?  Yes, there is a subCR in JDK 7 for 
it."

In addition, there can be a "upgrade JDK 7 to jaxp x.y.z" bug to track 
the changes specific to the JDK, such as updating the properties files.

I definately think there should be an "Upgraded to JAXP 1.4.3" bug in 
the changeset and that the bug database should have the subCRs.  Listing 
all 10 jaxp bugs would be more informative, but a bit more work.
