Everything seems to be sorted out now. I'll just respond quickly again
to this. The issue is not whether the changes are appropriate - The
point is that you are not a maintainer so you should not make changes
without getting permission first - certainly not API changes. I asked
Christophe not to give you cvs write access immediately so that you
would have the chance to develop the correct habits first. In my
experience that is a smoother process.

I am the person who revived the project, and created the stable/unstable
release plans. I am the person who has successfully released and
maintained stable APIs for gtkmm, gnomemm and libsigc++ among others,
sucessfully encouraging and integrating many developers. I know how to
do this stuff. I am not an official maintainer of libxml++ because I am
trying to avoid extra responsibilities, but Christophe has OKed all of
my plans.

Again, everything seems to be sorted out now.
