Here's another try at xerces-c27 :

http://washington.kelkoo.net/fedora/SPECS/xerces-c27.spec
http://washington.kelkoo.net/fedora/SRPMS/xerces-c27-2.7.0-2.fc8.src.rpm

rpmlint output (most of the errors are also in the original xerces-c 
package) :

and the modified perl-XML-Xerces :
http://washington.kelkoo.net/fedora/SPECS/perl-XML-Xerces.spec
http://washington.kelkoo.net/fedora/SRPMS/perl-XML-Xerces-2.7.0_0-7.fc8.src.rpm


Does it look better now ? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
