To be honest, I'd be a lot more interested in doing the work myself or 
as part of a team than in paying somebody else to do it. I've been 
considering that for a while now. So far it's been easier to fix Jaxen's 
XPath and rely on Xalan for XSLT than to fix Saxon, but that may not be 
true forever, especially if performance becomes a concern.

Even if we managed to raise the funds to pay Mike to do 6.5.4, what 
happens when we need 6.5.5? I think we'd be much betters served by an 
active Saxon community than by one programmer, no matter how talented.
