There's a somewhat interesting taxonomy here.  There is certainly a call for
a ws-commons, I think.  I would imagine that in there there would be things
like JaxMe, perhaps a slicker version of tcpmon which is more SOAP aware,
etc...  Then there is the "extensions" space.  This is for stuff that "bolts
on" to Axis, like reliability/security/etc extensions implemented with
Handlers and ideally sharing an extensibility architecture as outlined in
the Wiki.  While you certainly could put all these in "ws-commons" as well,
I would think having a well-delineated area for extensions like this might
be a good thing...
