Because that codebase is bulky and I don't want to add a dependency on it 
combined with the fact that the Config 2 DOM is a widely applicable 
no-brainer functionality. Most of the code I am decoupling from Avalon will 
use w3c DOM for configuration purposes. 

ie Currently Policy, ClassLoader and Log4j config all convert to W3C DOM 
before getting passed to repective toolkits. In the future the Tag/Attribute 
Schema, Interceptor defs, MXInfo and so forth will all be w3c DOM configured.
