Reorganized the dev call material in the wiki a little, it was getting unwieldy.

Spring Framework V4 transition:

• Spring Boot 1.0.0 RC1 now out
• Spring Framework 4.0.1 (bug fixes) expected Monday 27-Jan.
• Spring Webflow 2.4 now delayed to 14-Mar (RC1 12-Feb).
  
  • BUT 2.3.3 compatible with Spring Framework 4 expected Tuesday 28-Jan.
• Sounds like we can switch later next week. 

Moving from endorsed Xalan/Xerces to JDK-supplied JAXP implementation?:

• pro: we wouldn't be dependent on shipping something from 2009
• pro: recent security properties work
• con: XPath/XSLT extension functions in Xalan namespace don't work
• con: ordering constraint or resolver may be needed when building schema (investigating)
  
  • should we implement a CatalogResolver to address this?
