The Xalan serializer started as a copy of the Xerces serializer but diverged over time and for years two similarly capable serializers were being developed. More effort was devoted to improving the performance and fixing bugs in the Xalan version and after a comparison of the \[http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xalan-dev&m=107593381313807&w=2 two serializers in 2004\] it became clear to the developers that moving to the Xalan serializer was the best way forward.
