However that page seems to indicate that Jakarta Regexp is not
preferable to Java 1.4. Given that, the question is whether we believe
we'll be improving it dramatically rather than merely bugfix. Of
course there might be other reasons why Regexp is preferable.

ORO does do better than Java 1.4 and would seem to be the product
worth attention if we want to support a 'java.util.regex' isn't good
enough angle.
