It was proposed to consider switching to Saxon, since Xalan has
basically been dead since 2007. Saxon apears to include a
TransformerFactoryImpl (though I don't have any idea as to completeness
of compatibility).

The only reason we need Xalan is to provide a jaxp impl of
transformer. Ideally we could just rely on the JDK, which uses a fork of xalan, but the
translet code which is compiled by it is not compatible with modular classloading. So we
just need that one patch. As of late the JDK fork is more current, so we could potentially
switch to a fork of it instead. Since Java 9 is moving to modularity, I imagine they would
fix the same issue, we could also send them a patch.
