-Welcome to the future! Xerces2 is the next generation of high performance,
-fully compliant XML parsers in the Apache Xerces family. This new version of
-Xerces introduces the Xerces Native Interface (XNI), a complete framework for
-building parser components and configurations that is extremely modular and
-easy to program.
+Xerces2 is an XML parser in the Apache Xerces family. This version is the
+reference implementation of the Xerces Native Interface (XNI), a modular
+framework for building parser components and configurations.
 
-The Apache Xerces2 parser is the reference implementation of XNI but other
-parser components, configurations, and parsers can be written using the Xerces
-Native Interface. For complete design and implementation documents, refer to
-the XNI Manual.
-
-Xerces2 is a fully conforming XML Schema processor. For more information,
-refer to the XML Schema page.
-
-Xerces2 also provides a complete implementation of the Document Object Model
-Level 3 Core and Load/Save W3C Recommendations and provides a complete
-implementation of the XML Inclusions (XInclude) W3C Recommendation. It also
-provides support for OASIS XML Catalogs v1.1.

 Recommendation, except that it does not yet provide an option to enable
 normalization checking as described in section 2.13 of this specification. It

-and will correctly serialize XML 1.1 documents if the DOM level 3 load/save
