We've in the past stayed away from adding new features to stable  
branches with the exception of new methods in existing classes and  
that didn't do anything complicated.

I'm not sure I remember everything but I think the NeXML support does  
exceed that level, doesn't it? Can it be rolled into its own pre- 
release that is a drop-in to an existing 1.6.x installation for those  
who want to go there?
